| | Sounds Like | 50ft Panda maintain a strong grip on what’s important
for a good live show: they rock, and they do so
relentlessly and brilliantly.
Simon Minter - Nightshift Oxford Jul 07
From the outer limits of the metal orbit, a wibbling terrorcore instrumental 2-piece who mash face-shredding riffs over a carpet bomb beats, 50ft Panda will make you spit your drink out in that fun kind of way.
Andy - The Dragon's Ball
It’s all about the riffs, say 50ft Panda, and
they’re not wrong. Frenetic but not
frantic, intricate but not overly precious,
heavy but not messily so, 50ft Panda are a
whole heap of simple, bulldozing fun.
Demo of the Month - Nightshift Oxford Sept 07
The duo play a virtually uncategorisable mix of white noise, heavy riffing and insanely complicated drumming, made all the more terrifying by the fact that they introduce each song in such a quiet, unassuming manner. Intense stuff - definitely a band to look out for in the near future.

| About 50ft Panda |
Its all about the riffs; pure rhythm and sensitive musicianship can make for interesting and engaging music without the need for catchy melodies and lyrics. The duo’s sound has roots in stoner (Kyuss, Clutch), metal (Mastodon, Melvins) and prog (Lightning Bolt, Oxes) but is a culmination of all 3, plus more rocking out. The idea for 50ft Panda was to strip back to the basic formula of a rock song: the riff, the beat and that fucking hench grunt of a sound. Tom plays riffs on a low tuned guitar through a massive bass cab and Chris plays drum rhythms that fit them. Call it math, call it prog, call it stoner, they don't care as long as it rocks. Hard. Formed in late 2006, 50ft Panda have been writing and performing continuously, resulting in a self titled full length 6 track EP, a few more demos and many noise-drenched gigs in London and Oxford.
