Crosstown panic is Indonesian band formed in salatiga in the middle of 2007.The idea to form the band begin when Drajat and Yoga have similar interest in music and want to be exist in indie music scene with Do It Yourself spirit. After both agree to form a band they begin to look for a vocalist and a bassist who have the same idea. It takes a short time to find a vocalist. However, it was quite hard to find a bassist to join the band. Finally after several times using additional bassist now crosstown panic has a solid formation which consists 4 persons. Cross town panic are Pringgo (vocals), Yoga (drums), Drajat (guitars), and Nata (bass).Cross town panic play unique music which sound like in the 60s-70s era. It sounds like mixtures among R&B, rock, even further we can hear that they seem explore blues style. They often hear 60s-70s band for their references such as, the who, Jimi Hendrix experience,cream, etc. Now crosstown panic have their own songs, but since they’ve been very busy with their business outside the band (study and work), so far they have only recorded several songs, "soulmate" , "stand on my pride" and "spoonful" which is willie Dixon cover. Their songs such as "soulmate" and "stand on my pride" are officially used as an OST for English indie movie entitled "Techno Geek"...In their busy days they are preparing to record their songs and release their mini album which consist about 5 songs. They keep exploring their music to find out and be able to have a strong characteristic to describe the band.
