Panchiko was founded sometime between 19 when its members were 16–17 years old and nearing the end of secondary school. The band's debut album Failed at Math(s) was released on, followed by their second full tour in the United States. As of 2023, they have over 700,000 monthly listeners. In November 2021, they amassed over 10 million streams on Spotify. In December 2021, the band performed their first show in over twenty years in their hometown of Nottingham, after which they embarked on their first tour in the United States. Panchiko has since released two compilation albums remastering their older music: a reissue of D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L combining their first two EPs and Ferric Oxide (Demos 1997-2001). This was unbeknownst to the band until 2020, when Davies was found and contacted by a fan through Facebook. The EP's status as lost media led to a dedicated cult following and a community devoted to tracking down its band members. The band first received public attention in 2016 when their 2000 demo EP D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L was discovered by a 4chan user in a charity shop in Sherwood, Nottingham and shared online.
A year after the revival of Panchiko in 2020, the band was joined by two new members, guitarist Robert "Rob" Harris and John Schofield, who replaced their original drummer. Formed sometime between 19, it originally consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Owain Davies, guitarist and keyboardist Andrew "Andy" Wright, bassist Shaun Ferreday, and a drummer named John. Panchiko is a British indie rock band originating from Nottingham, England.
