Stephen Perkins Made Us a Mixtape!

"We're doing it because we love it," says drummer Stephen Perkins of his new band, The Panic Channel. "Forming of a new band adds years to my life -- the excitement is like meeting a new girl or something." Former with fellow ex-Jane's Addiction members Dave Navarro and Chris Chaney, plus newcomer Steve Isaacs on vocals, Panic Channel puts a fresh, melodic new spin on the modern rock sound that Jane's helped pioneer nearly two decades ago.
