seven years together as a band. It's almost like just a bit of validation for a lot of hard work. Also it keeps the band a little bit hungry just knowing that people are listening." In early 2010, The Panics played a show at Kings Park, Perth backed by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra features many performers not unaccustomed to this form of cross-over with many, notably Michael Ingle, having previously played with Ben Lee and The Cat Empire. The band contributed the song "No More Tears" on the Maurice Frawley 2010 tribute album, Long Gone Whistle - The Songs of Maurice Frawley. 2011–present: Rain on the Humming Wire and Hole in Your Pocket On 29 July 2011, the band released their fourth studio album Rain on the Humming Wire, which peaked at number 7 on the ARIA Charts, becoming their first top ten album. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2011, the album was nominated for ARIA Award for Best Adult Alternative Album. In 2013, The Panics were commissioned to write an original soundtrack for the ABC archival documentary Girt by Sea (2014). The film premiered at the Perth International Arts Festival in February 2014 where The Panics performed the score live to a sold-out audience. Before recording their next album, the band had some time off with Laffer saying in 2016 "The members felt as though they were running low on steam, unable to produce much fruitful work." On 7 October 2016, the band released their fifth studio album Hole in Your Pocket. Upon release, lead singer Jae Laffer spoke with Double J saying there is a "beauty of making a record after a significant break [as] you've evolved as a person from when you were writing your last batch of songs", adding "You experience some new things that you haven't touched on before, musically and lyrically." Despite positive reviews, the album peaked at number 52 on the ARIA Chart. Commencing fortnightly in April 2020, the band re-released their back catalogue on streaming services.
