Panic! At The Disco's website homepage is very similar to New Politics this may be because they are both signed to the same record label, DCD2 and the label has synergy across their signed artists so a viewer can tell when the band in under their label.
The front cover from the album 'Death of a Bachelor' is the homepage's header promoting the newly released album, along with the new Panic! name typeface in bright yellow as it is on the album cover. The synergy between the digipak and website make them feel as though they work together instead of separately.
Directly underneath the header there are links to different pages such as a news page, tour information, photo and their store and sign up page. By having all the relevant links in one place at the top of the page, the viewer knows where they can find links to different pages but also know that the band have a merch store, touring information and other social medias.
The viewer doesn't even need to click on the link to sign up to the bands mailing list as if they scroll further down the can find another sign up bit.
If the viewer does not see that there is a mailing list originally or ignored it, they may be more tempted to sign up to it the second time they see it and they don't have to leave the homepage to do it.
There are severally links to the bands social media where fans can keep up to date, and like on the New Politics homepage the record label DCD2 is displayed with all its signed artists underneath, promoting other artists and the record label itself. By linking the other artists in the label to the Panic! At The Disco homepage it can make the viewer feel as though the record label is like a family making in more friendly and may make them want to look at the other bands as well.
The bands latest YouTube videos are uploaded to the homepage promoting them so that a viewer can watch them on the website but then may click on more of the bands videos and go to their YouTube channel and discover more about the band.
