Saat itu, Ryan adalah gitaris dan vokalis. Brendon main gitar, Brent bass, dan Spencer drum. Mereka mulai membuat lagu. Lagu pertama yang mereka tulis adalah Time To Dance. Dan dua minggu sebelum mereka dikontrak Pete Wentz, Brendon dengan muka bingung dan pasrah dipilih jadi vokalis. Tadinya, mereka punya 2 pilihan nama untuk Bandnya. “Burn Down the Disco” dan “Panic! At The Disco”. Akhirnya, terpilihlah nama Panic! at the Disco untuk band mereka. Mereka membuat demo di laptop Ryan. Dan mengirimkannya ke live journalnya Pete Wentz (anggota band Fall Out Boy). Pete Wentz yang saat itu lagi rekaman di LA, langsung dateng ke Las Vegas untuk dengerin Panic! latihan. Dan setelah melihat Panic! main, Pete langsung ngontrak Panic!. Tentunya sebuah momen yang luar biasa bagi Panic!, secara, tiba-tiba disamperin Pete Wentz dan dikontrak setelah denger 2 lagu demo. Woow.. Lucky. Tengah tahun 2005, albumnya keluar. Dan langsung laku. Video pertamanya, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” berhasil jadi 5 nominasi dalam MTV Video Music Award 2006, dan menang dalam kategori Best Video of The Years. Lalu, dia melanjutkan membuat video keduanya, “But It’s Better If You Do” dan “Lying Is The Most Fun a Girl Can’t Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off”. Kayaknya 2 video terakhir mereka itu [ terutama But It’s Better If You Do ] belum masuk Indonesia deh. Mungkin masih disensor kali ya. Secara videonya agak gimana gitu. Coba aja liat. Sekarang, dia baru nyelesein tur di Eropa dan Australia. Dan mau ngelanjutin turnya bareng Bloc Party di Amerika sampai akhir tahun. Konsernya selalu penuh. Tapi, gak semuanya berjalan lancar. Bulan juli kemaren, di Reading Festival UK, Brendon kena lemparan botol dari penonton nggak jelas, yang mulus mendarat di deket mata kirinya. Brendon pingsan selama kurang lebih 2 menit. Setelah sadar, Panic! melanjutkan lagu yang terputus.
Sekitar bulan Mei, Brent dikeluarin dari Panic! dengan alasan dia nggak melaksanakan tugasnya dengan benar. Cuma mau duitnya aja. Ya, kaya makan gaji buta gitu. Tapi, pas diwawancara, Brent bilang dia dikeluarin tanpa alasan yang jelas. Setelah keluarnya Brent, Panic! memiliki pengganti sementara bassis mereka, yaitu Jon Walker. Yang akhirnya, diumumkan melalui MySpace, bahwa Jon Walker sudah menjadi anggota resmi Panic!.
Setelah album Pretty Odd keluar, Ryan Ross dan Jon Walker memutuskan untuk keluar dari panic. berikut penggalan surat dari Ryan Ross dan Jon Walker.
To Whom It May Concern…
July 6th, 2009
Ryan Ross and Jon Walker will be leaving Panic at the Disco to embark on a musical excursion of their own. Though the four of us have made music together in the past, we’ve creatively evolved in different directions which has compromised what each of us want to personally achieve. Over the years, we have remained close and honest with each other, which helped us to realize that our goals were different and that parting ways is truly what is best for each of us. We are all excited for the future, you should be too.

We just wanted to let you know, that the news of Ryan and Jon leaving the band is unfortunately true. It’s been an amazing journey being in a band with them, but sometimes individual tastes take friends in different directions and you can’t ignore it. They are some of the most talented guys we know, and we’re sure that whatever they do next will be great. That said, Panic At The Disco is alive and very very well. We are working on new songs that we are excited for you to hear. Our dates with Blink and Fall Out Boy start in a little less than a month, and we wouldn’t miss those for the world. We know everybody has a lot of questions at this point with everything being so out of the blue, most of those should be answered in the coming weeks. We appreciate every one of you, and hope you continue with us on this incredible ride.
Pay attention we have a surprise in store for you.
-Brendon and Spencer-
PS we were cleaning out the practice space and you’ll never guess what we found!
"Ryan Ross dan Jon Walker akan meninggalkan Panic! at the Disco untuk mulai mengembangkan musik sendiri. Walaupun kami berempat telah membuat musik bersama di masa lalu, kami secara kreatif memiliki jalan yang berbeda yang membuat kami ingin mewujudkannya masing-masing".
Kendati hengkang, di antara mereka tak ada perselisihan. Keempat personel merasa band yang telah membawa nama mereka ke ajang MTV Video Music Awards itu adalah rumah yang nyaman. Lantas dua personel lainnya Brendon Urie (vokal) dan Spencer Smith (drum) tak patah arang. Mereka mengaku bakal meneruskan perjuangan band. Jadwal tur pun akan segera dipenuhi sesuai rencana. Ryan Ross dan Jon Walker membentuk Band baru bernama The Young Veins.
Akhirnya setelah beberapa bulan kemudian, Panic! at the Disco mengumumkan kepada seluruh fans dan media di dunia, Bahwa mereka telah mendapatkan 2 orang personil baru lagi. ke dua orang personil baru tersebut masuk menggantikan Ryan Ross (gitar) dan Jon Walker (bassist) yang mengundurkan diri belum lama ini, untuk membentuk sebuah band baru bernama The Young Veins. Spencer Urie drummer PATD berkata, “Yess, kita telah mempunyai 2 orang personil baru bernama Ian Crawford (gitaris) dan Dallon Weekes (bassist). Ian adalah (mungkin) gitaris paling bertalenta yang pernah saya dan Brendon Urie (vokal) bermain bersama, dan Dallon itu orangnya baik dan juga pemain bass yang ok banget”. ucap Spencer Urie memberikan komentar terhadap 2 orang personil baru PATD ini.
