Originally known as Fractured Fairy Tales, Dublin rock band Cliff Edge Panic were an enigmatic five-piece that brightened up that city's live scene during 1986. Strong song writing from three members of the band - John Prendergast (guitar), and brothers, Ken (vocals) and Ger Corbett (rhythm guitar) - made for an impressive set. Mark Wills (bass), and Dave Burke (drums), who replaced original drummer, Geri, completed the line-up.

Legendary Hot Press writer Bill Graham chose Cliff Edge Panic as the highlight of the all-day Comet Festival in August '86, and was a regular at the band's gigs in Dublin's Underground.

Their only release was 'Girl On The Bridge' which featured on the first Comet EP, in early '87. However, the increased interest the band received, thanks to generous airplay and favourable press, was offset by the fact that they'd split up just before the record was released.

Members of the band later resurfaced in The Train Walkers, The Slowest Clock, and Feargal Is The Applejack!

In 2001, a limited edition, Cliff Edge Panic retrospective CD was released.
