Written by Jerrod Cunningham, Thomas Wheat, and Jamie Kucinski, and produced by Kevin W. Gates at Reach Audio in Springfield, Missouri, “Panic” is a bold step forward for the Tulsa-based alternative metal band. Known for their high-energy sound and honest songwriting, XIII Minutes continues to push boundaries while staying rooted in a message of truth and faith.
Following a string of radio rock chart-topping releases (“Fake,” “Who Told You?,” and “Stay“) and a strong resurgence since signing with NRT Music, XIII Minutes is building serious momentum. “Panic” stands as a cornerstone release for the band in 2026, positioning them for continued growth across rock and faith-based audiences alike.
With its placement-ready appeal across Rock Anthems, Christian Hard, Heavy Workout, and Mental Struggle playlists, “Panic” is poised to connect immediately with listeners looking for music that is both intense and deeply personal.
“Panic” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
