Brighton’s Joe Average have returned after decades with Panic Buttons, featuring MAD MICK and FABER, a high-energy blend of classic rave vibes and sharp modern flair.
Reuniting original members Rich, MAD MICK, and Prof after 34 years, the track channels the raw energy of their late-80s London heyday. The reunion feels fated—sparked by a chance meeting on the 34th anniversary of the date of their final gig.

FABER’s searing vocals add a bold edge, layered over Rich’s live drums, MICK’s iconic sax, and Prof’s lush synths. Produced with precision and passion, the single pulses with nostalgic grit and fresh urgency. For Rich, a former drummer-turned-entrepreneur, this release is a powerful return to unfinished business.
Panic Buttons is more than a song—it’s a resurrection of spirit, sound, and synchronicity that longtime fans and new listeners will feel in their bones. Check out the single below.
