The band, which aimed to sound different from the many death metal bands in Las Vegas, signed a recording contract without having performed a live show. Initially, Panic! at the Disco was a Blink-182 cover band. Ross initially was the lead singer for the group, but after hearing Urie sing back-up during rehearsals, the group decided to make him the lead. The quartet soon began rehearsing in Smith's grandmother's living room. They invited friend Brent Wilson from nearby Palo Verde High School to join on bass, and Wilson invited classmate Brendon Urie to try out on guitar. They both attended Bishop Gorman High School, and they began playing music together in ninth grade. Panic! at the Disco was formed in 2004 in the suburban area of Summerlin, Las Vegas, by childhood friends Ryan Ross, who sang and played guitar, and Spencer Smith, who played drums.
