In 2016, a user on the 4chan forum posted a photo of a CD found in a charity shop in Nottingham, entitled D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, purportedly released in 2000. The file began to circulate and a fan base was formed. Everyone tried to figure out the secret, until a local band called Panchiko, long gone, discovered that their demo had gone viral. By popular demand, the band reformed and will release a new album – Failed at Math(s) – on May 5, 2023, followed by an international tour. Beyond the mystery, one thing is certain, their indie rock & bedroom pop combo is a real nugget.
