Tucson four-piece Message to the Masses just premiered their cover of Panic! At the Disco’s ‘Time to Dance’ on Tattoo.com. The Arizonian heavy-hitters swept the scene with their 2016 release, “Means To An End.” With a brand new single to start off 2017, Message to the Masses have completely reimagined ‘Time to Dance’, incorporating their signature heavy instrumentals, guttural screams, and melodic clean vocals. As long-time followers of Panic! At the Disco, the band display their versatility and transcendence of typical genres with their version of this classic. The track is available for streaming below.
Since their inception in 2011, vocalist Matthew Diana, lead guitarist Matti Hoffman, bassist Matthew McAdam, and drummer Mikey Castillo have continually proven themselves a force to be reckoned with. After releasing their 2013 EP, “Bitter Ends” and “New Beginnings,” the band immediately turned to touring. No strangers to the road, Message to the Masses have toured extensively and shared the stage with the likes of Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, and Chelsea Grin. Having written so much on the road, the band were finally ready to give their fans a new EP this year. With soaring vocals, piercing guitar riffs, and explosive percussions, Means To An End has garnered much well-deserved attention and claimed the band a loyal fanbase.
Sonically rich EPs and engaging live shows display the band’s fervent dedication to the music that has given them everything. Message to the Masses are on the move and show no signs of slowing down. “Music’s euphoric feeling has us addicted and we cannot stop this madness.”
