Medicine

Medicine, formed in Los Angeles in 1990, is often celebrated as one of the pioneering bands in the shoegaze and noise pop genres. The band initially captured attention with their distinctive blend of whirring guitars, melodic pop sensibilities, and layered, ethereal soundscapes, distinguishing themselves within the early '90s alternative music scene. Their sound is characterized by a noisy, blissful fusion of pop melodies and feedback-driven sonic textures, marking Medicine as crucial contributors to the shoegaze movement alongside bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive.

After disbanding in the late '90s, following a string of influential releases, Medicine reunited in 2013 with their album "To The Happy Few," which was celebrated for recapturing their classic sound while infusing it with newfound energy and sophistication. This was followed by a series of releases that saw the band continuing to evolve and redefine their sound within the contemporary music landscape. From the live energy captured in "In Session KXLU 2013" to the introspective experimentation of "Scarred for Life" and the expansive sonic territories explored in "Home Everywhere," Medicine has remained an enduring and innovative presence within alternative music. Their discography, including more recent releases like "2.0 Extraneous" and "On The Bed," stands as a testament to their continuous evolution and persistent relevance in the ever-changing musical sphere.
