AltPress Exclusive: First Ryan Ross-less Panic At The Disco song out August 17

Scott Heisel on 7/7/09 @ 6:11 PM

So yesterday was pretty nuts, right? First, Panic At The Disco guitarist/primary songwriter Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker quit the band. Then, hours later, Brendon Urie (vocals) and Spencer Smith (drums) responded to Ross and Walker's departure, assuring fans that PATD will soldier on. Now, Alternative Press has exclusively learned that we're just weeks away from finding out what the new Panic will sound like.

On August 25, Fueled By Ramen will issue the Jennifer's Body movie soundtrack, which will include Panic's first Ryan Ross-less song, "New Perspective." According to the band's publicist, neither Ross or Walker had any involvement in the track. The song is also scheduled to be serviced to radio on August 17, so now you know when to start calling your local request line. The Jennifer's Body soundtrack will also feature new and unreleased material from All Time Low, Cobra Starship, Dashboard Confessional and others.

What do you think "New Perspective" will sound like? What do you want it to sound like? Leave a comment and tell us!
