Panchiko
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchiko
British indie rock band originating from Nottingham, England. Formed sometime between 1997 and 1998,[1] it originally consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Owain Davies, guitarist/keyboardist Andrew "Andy" Wright, bassist Shaun Ferreday, and a drummer named John. 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.[2]
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 through the music discussion section of the messageboard; the disc was notably distorted due to disc rot, lending further mystery to the EP. Its brief status as lostwave media led to a dedicated cult following and a community devoted to tracking down its band members.[3] This was unbeknownst to the band until 2020, when Davies was found and contacted by a fan through Facebook.[4]

August 28, 20244 | What's Cook'n, Budots Music, and The Kids Don't Talk On The Phone
The kids won't answer the phone plus a look at a EDM sub-genre called Budots.
Jon and Vince both are dedicated amateur chefs. Jon even has competition experience and Vince was raised in a commercial kitchen.
The Latest
Gen Z & Millennials don’t talk on the phone:
Study from Uswitch.
A quarter (23%) of 18 to 34-year-olds say they NEVER pick-up calls[1], with over half (56%) assuming an ‘out of the blue’ call means bad news[2]

Social media (48%)[3] and voice messages (37%)[4] are preferred by young people - yet half (53%) would be offended if their friend or family didn’t phone them to announce happy news such as an engagement or a new baby[5]

Avoiding scam calls is the most common reason for not answering the phone[6] But news is worth sharing as six in ten (64%) women consider a ‘general chat’ worth a phone call in comparison to 53% of men[7]
