Like a thief!
Softly in the night!
Coming with pans blazing
With precision and timing
Complacence, over confidence
Cause you to drop your guard
So we go hit you real hard
Beaten not broken we are hungry
So this time we fit and ready
Is a mission and we capable
Not mission impossible.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bam!

Feel de heat! Doh

Is a Pan steelband army
Beat de drum!
For is here we come!
Taking on all comers
And, we taking no prisoners
Who ent dead
go be badly wounded
Not in life, but musically
A musical charge that well grounded
Shocking you electrically
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bam!

Edwin Pouchet:
 - Edwin
grew up in pan, hearing
pan morning, noon and
night. His bigger
brother Junior Pouchet
was synonymous with
the band Silver Stars.
When Junior migrated
to Orlando to work with
Disney World, Edwin
took up the mantle and
brought the band back
in the limelight after
a 10-year break.
Edwin proved to be a
creative and exciting
arranger reviving some
of the band’s trademark
selections as well as
introducing new ones.
The band made its name
in the medium category
of the steelband competitions
winning with
Pure Party in
2004. He also won the
first “Pan in the 21st
Century” competition
with
Love Theme as
well as with the popular
Phantom of the Opera.
However when he took
the leap into the Large
Band Category of Panorama
in 2008, he earned the
respect of his fans
and peers with a respectable
place in the finals
with
Thunder Coming,
his own composition.
This led to his first
victory at that level
the following year with
First in the Line.
In 2010 year he created
history by repeating
with his own composition
Battle Zone
as this tune was also
the winning Panorama
selection in Montreal,
Toronto,
New York and Washington.
Lyrics for his compositions
have been written by
Alvin Daniell; in 2011
they teamed up again
to produce
Wake Up sung
by Denyse Plummer and
It’s Showtime!
sung by Anslem Douglas.
For 2013 he continues his long-time musical collaboration
with Alvin Daniell,
resulting in
Shock Attack -
the track featured
here.
