Panthers Conceived in Brooklyn, NY in September 2000, PANTHERS began as a side project for five friends. In addition to playing in TURING MACHINE, Justin Chearno had been involved with PITCHBLENDE and UNREST. Jayson Green, Geoff Garlock, and Jeff Salane were all members of ORCHID, and finally, Kip Uhlhorn was a member of THE RED SCARE. At first thought to be a finite distraction, the band has evolved into the main musical outlet for all involved. Drawing influences from MC5 and THE STOOGES
