Satellite, the stunning new album from UK rock band Panic Room, looks set to propel them into another league. The award-winning band have returned from their live UK touring with a second album that is tighter, brighter, louder and even more powerful than the first.

Taking the same creative freedom that they explored in their debut, ‘Visionary Position', Panic Room have fused their signature sound with an even higher level of energy and raw power.

All captured in a two-week ‘live' studio recording session, ‘Satellite' is a jaw-dropping collection of songs that all shine with the talent, passion, and freedom of a band at the very top of their game.

The album is jam-packed full of great hooks, powerful grooves, gorgeous melodies and, of course, the amazing voice of stellar frontwoman, Anne-Marie Helder. Impossible to pigeon-hole, each song has its own unique flavour, but it is possibly the epic title track, ‘Satellite', which simply screams ‘hit'.

Review

While Led Zeppelin, Zero 7, Burt Bacharach, Kate Bush, Alanis Morissette & Metallica are among the touchstones for the creative spark of Panic Room, they are no slavish copyists and ‘Satellite' emerges, an evolving, original and beautiful creation ready to take flight to the stars.

Without doubt, it's going to be exceedingly difficult to find a better album in 2010.

Perfect progressive pop rock. *****
