Panima are Emo Rock with an emphasis on "Rock" The Used meets Underoath - Transformers music - Their lyrics set them apart from the typical EMO genre bands as they actually have something to say!

Panima started working on pre production for the "Take Cover" EP about three days before they tracked the record.
They had a opportunity to record with Jeff "Number One Gun" Schneeweis up in Chico Ca as he had just finished up with Hawthorne Heights he had a two week studio opening.
The band had been touring all year long and had just found out they had the whole of the Warped Tour secured and thought it be best to record some new songs.
The EP was definitely inspired the upcoming Election,also by the fact that Declare Yourself (voter registration) had approached lead singer David about representing them out on the Warped Tour this summer.David and the band felt the EP should contain both musically & lyrically some of the thoughts,ideas and issues that he would be covering on the DY campaign for Warped etc.
The EP sort of picks up where they left of on the previous EP "This Is Who We Are" but has more of and heavier edgier sound that blends in another dimension of the band and the new sound the band had been moving towards in their heads at rehearsals that includes synth's and strings etc.
Take Cover has infl's from their favorite bands from Jimmy Eat World,Thrice, Underoath & The Used etc etc.
