Badge
The Panik
2006

A modern reproduction of an original badge. The Panik did a great punk single- the 'It Won't Sell' ep. They were produced by Rob Gretton, who at the time was working for Slaughter and the Dogs. The ep came out on Rob's first record label... Rainy City Records. The label's tag was 'We're So Bored With London'... Rob later went on to manage Joy Division and co-found Factory Records.

“I knocked out the logo for this ... that's my customary scrawl, which we used on everything from Joy Division to Slaughter & The Dogs. I designed the sleeve for "It Won't Sell" by The Panik. I don't have a copy of the sleeve anymore but it's an interesting one if anyone has a copy to upload. The main picture is a photograph of rentboys hustling on a New York street in the 1960s, but looking at the hairstyles and fashions they were sporting, you'd have sworn that it was a UK punk band from the late 1970s. Rob Gretton found the photo in a magazine and we just appropriated it for the sleeve.”

“Thank you, Simonmcg, for your kind words...some have said I have a modicum of talent; it remains to be seen...Henry Rollins is soon to re-release The Panik EP - apparently, he is a big fan - and wants to interview me on his podcast...For more follow me on Fuckface; probably won't get my head around Telegram before they pull it down. Shit happens, why they have sanitation engineers. Love. Peace. And all the compassion I can muster. IPN”
