The duo band that has been performing and breaking stages all across Perth, Command A Panda has certainly gone far over the 18 months since they first put their panda heads together. With lots of guitar rhythm sections and smashing cymbals on every beat, Matt and Tim have engraved their indistinguishable hard rock blues into the minds and bleeding ear drums of the people of Perth. After a decade of extraordinary musical history together in various bands, April saw the departure of Tim Hosken from Matt's side to, what would seem the other side of the world in a place called Sydney.
With half the band gone, Command A Panda was struck with a major shift in dynamics that would be as subtlety of a brick through a windshield. What better to fuel creativity than the open road of unpredictability after all, the strongest moments happen when exploring new territory? To pick up the drumsticks was Adam Moore, previous from rock band Shelby and the Neighbours, smashing the skins is nothing new to him. As far as meeting all the requirements of being a panda, Adam has checked them all. Tattoos, check, beard, check, an outlandish disregard to following any normal genre of music, check.
A new panda means a below zero degrees fresh approach to sound, an impressive feat for any band. Although the small explosions of fuzz-tone guitar, raw cheeky vocals and avalanche of belting drums will still be present, it is unknown what exactly will come from these two lads working together. What provides most of the excitement about this new development is showing how invested these guys actually are in the music with their first meeting revolving around new albums, new country tours and new music clips. Their ecstatic banter of the future lead to a bubbling over of the very structure of their creative process to a whole new level. The idea of the panda culture was born by wrenching the core values of these lads to the surface and bringing it out in songs, an endeavour from a band going so deep into their own heads that they lose track of where the exit doors are located.
Command A Panda has emerged as one of the most popular band making music that sounds like older music without getting all ZZ top about it. We can only assume that their future work will be as distinctive and arguably their best, tailored for people outside the norm and with an appetite for life's hilarious ironies and a dedication to chewing through every one of them.

Creeps
Creeps‘Creeps’ kicks off with a whole lot of swagger imbued with full-throttle stoner sound with a certain amount of hip-shaking classic rock. This is the song about living in the moment brought to you through 80’s rock which can only be summed up by saying modern-day Zeppelin or Metallica

Bad For My Health
Bad For My Health‘Bad for my health’ has got it all with a silky smooth intro, crisp drumming, squirrelly guitars, held together by a chorus which turns into a hypnotic chant that will rattle your fillings and bring out your sinister side. This song will hit home to all those that have swallowed kilos of pills and buckets of booze, woken up in a strangers bed to spend the day stuck between scoffing fast food and hugging the toilet.

Koi
KoiPunk Rock Grunge Blues Duo band from Perth, Australia. ‘Koi’, an apocalyptic rumble builds into a gargantuan, guitar-stabbing strut that makes all listeners simultaneously lose their minds. You expect Matt’s voice to snap into a traditional rock snarl and yet he sings melodious throughout this track, till the outburst frenzy at the end.

You Ain't Comin Back
You Ain't Comin Back‘You aint coming back’ starts from a brooding guitar rift into a subdued verse which erupts into a sunlit shuffle of a chorus; it’s hard to believe that this cheering tune is a break up song. It has its stormier moments but hold on! because this record grows up with sass and is the most dance-able offering yet.
