NEWMEDS

NEWMEDS are a Brighton-based four-piece bringing sharp edges and big energy to the UK's post-punk revival. Formed in 2018, the band – Tom Clements (vocals/guitar), Matt Everson (bass), Josh Pavey (drums), and Sam Jones (guitar) – mix wiry guitar lines with electronic textures and lyrics dissecting modern anxieties. Their tracks like "Cognitive Behaviour" and "Nothing Is Heavier Than the Mind" reveal an unflinching look at mental health struggles through shout-along choruses and motorik rhythms, while recent singles like "Shapeshifter" showcase their growing knack for danceable tension. Known for sweat-drenched live shows in the South England DIY circuit, NEWMEDS carve catharsis from chaos, pairing social commentary with mosh-ready instrumentation that's equal parts cerebral and visceral.
