Echo Season

Panchiko is one of the coolest comeback stories in modern music. This Nottingham indie band recorded a distorted demo called D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L in 2000, played empty rooms, and gave up. Then in 2016, someone found their forgotten CD in a UK charity shop, posted it to 4chan, and sparked a 4-year internet manhunt to figure out who they were. Fans eventually traced the CD's barcode back to the exact Oxfam it came from, tracked down the lead singer through Facebook, and convinced the original members to reform the band 20 years later. Now Panchiko are hitting hundreds of millions of streams, and selling out venues worldwide. Genuinely one of the wildest internet-era discovery stories. #panchiko #lostmedia #musicdiscovery #indierock #undergroundmusic
