With Vices & Virtues, their first album as a duo, frontman/multi-instrumentalist Brendon Urie and drummer/percussionistSpencer Smith have proven that their best ideas are just starting to get realized -- and the disc not only marks the beginning of a new era for this Grammy-nominated, Las Vegas-based rock act, but in many ways also rings in a new period of musical and emotional growth that shows no signs of subsiding.

Responding to overwhelming public demand, Panic! At The Disco has moved up the release of Vices & Virtues, which includes the first single, "The Ballad of Mona Lisa," to arrive in stores and at all digital retailers on March 22nd.  In support of the new album, Panic! At The Disco has booked several late-night television appearances with the first stop at "Conan," scheduled forMonday, March 28th, followed one week later with a Monday, April 4th appearance on "Lopez Tonight."
