介绍

Panchiko是一支来自英国诺丁汉的独立乐队。成立于1997年，最初由欧文·戴维斯（主唱、吉他）、安迪·赖特（吉他、采样）、肖恩·费雷戴（贝斯）和约翰（鼓）组成。此后，新成员约翰（取代原来的鼓手约翰）和罗伯（吉他手）加入了乐队。

该乐队于2016年首次引起公众关注，当时他们的第一张样本唱片EP《D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L》在诺丁汉舍伍德一家慈善商店被一位4chan用户发现，随后在互联网上流行起来。直到2020年，乐队成员才知晓，当时一位粉丝通过Facebook找到并联系了主唱欧文。此后，乐队进行了重组，并于2021年12月在诺丁汉举行了他们二十多年来的首场演出。

《D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L》(1998–2001)

Panchiko的成员是拥有廉价设备的儿时朋友，他们在1998年十几岁的年纪时创立了乐队。受Super Furry Animals和电台司令等乐队的影响，乐队在他们的房间里录制《D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L 》。这张EP于2000年首次出版，大约有30张自制的CD-R副本在朋友之间共享，其中一些副本被发送给乐评家和厂牌。乐队在当地酒吧进行现场表演，并参加了乐队之战比赛。尽管吸引到了Fierce Panda的一些关注，乐队仍未签约并在不久后解散。《D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L》的音乐风格被认为是情绪音乐、工业音乐、梦幻流行和迷幻音乐。

在《D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L》的发行和乐队复兴之间，最初的三人组都开始了各自的音乐生涯。安迪为其他乐队以及其他音乐项目进行混音和掌握，继续从事音乐工作。他加入了游泳乐队以及他自己的项目We Show Up on Radar。欧文也从事不为人知的音乐项目，现在从事教育工作。肖恩现在是一名树木整形专家。他们最初的鼓手约翰在乐队解散后不久就参军了。

复兴（2016 年至今）

2016年7月21日，一位4chan用户发帖称他们在诺丁汉舍伍德的乐施会慈善商店找到了《D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L》的副本。这些受光盘损坏影响的歌曲通过Mega和Zippyshare下载链接被共享。

这张唱片通过互联网流传成为了一张另类经典作品直到欧文和Panchiko的其他成员通过Facebook与他们的粉丝联系上。2020年，乐队通过Bandcamp重新发行了《D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L》（现已扩展为一张完整专辑，其中包括他们2001年的作品《Kicking Cars》），以及通过合辑《Ferric Oxide》发布了18首以前未发布的样本曲目。 2021年，乐队发行了《The Death Of》，其中包含乐队在2001年解散前录制的最后一首曲目

2021年12月5日，乐队在他们的家乡进行了20多年来的首次现场演出他们的下一场重要演出是2022年在伦敦的哈克尼。乐队计划于2022年在美国各地巡演，包括西南偏南。

Panchiko ( pan-CHEE-koh) is a British indie rock band originating from Nottingham, England. Formed between 1997 and 1998, the band originally consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Owain Davies, guitarist/keyboardist Andrew "Andy" Wright, bassist Shaun Ferreday, and a drummer named John. A year after the revival of Panchiko in 2020, they were joined by guitarist Robert "Rob" Harris and John Schofield, who replaced their original drummer.

The band first received public attention in 2016 when their 2000 demo EP D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L was discovered by a 4chan user in a charity shop in Sherwood, Nottingham and shared online through the music discussion section of the messageboard; the disc was notably distorted due to disc rot, lending further mystery to the EP, leading to a dedicated cult following and an online community devoted to tracking down the band. This was unknown to the band until 2020, when Davies was found and contacted by a fan through Facebook.

Panchiko have since released two compilation albums remastering their older music: a reissue of D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L combining their first two EPs, and Ferric Oxide (Demos 1997–2001). In December 2021, the band performed their first show in over twenty years in their hometown of Nottingham, after which they embarked on their first tour in the United States. The band's debut album Failed at Math(s) was released on 5 May 2023, followed by their second full tour in the United States. Their second studio album, Ginkgo, was released on 4 April 2025. In November 2021, they amassed over ten million streams on Spotify. As of October 2026, they have 6 million monthly listeners.

History

1997–2001: Formation, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, and disbanding

Panchiko formed between 1997 and 1998 when their members were 16–17 years old and nearing the end of secondary school. The band consisted of childhood friends from Nottingham—Owain Davies, Andy Wright, Shaun Ferreday, and John. Panchiko's band name is derived from an unintentional misspelling of pachinko. Davies has stated that otaku culture had an influence on the band's lyrics and image, describing himself to be a fan of anime soundtracks, JRPGs and Studio Ghibli. The music they made was primarily influenced by Radiohead, Super Furry Animals, Ultrasound, Air, The Beatles, DJ Shadow, Joy Division, New Order, Nirvana, and Kid Loco.

The band initially performed live covers in local pubs despite being underage. They also performed in Battle of the Bands competitions, but never won and rarely received positive feedback. After an unsuccessful visit to a studio, Panchiko eventually began to produce music in their basements and bedrooms using cheap equipment. Davies has stated that their first extended play, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, was recorded between 1999 and 2000, with Wright serving as the group's producer. The EP was completed in June 2000.
