Are you looking for a new band of members who are skinny fat/actually fat who write songs about living the “rock and roll” lifestyle? Do you want to hear what it sounds like when someone does a siq mashup of “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (to Party)” and a Theory of a Deadman song? New Medicine might be the band 4 u!
I heard this song on the HARD ROCK radio station driving somewhere the other day b/c i got sick of all that POSER music like rejects attempting poetery (rap, lol) and black people singing about butts on the other radio stations. This song came on, and it was just like whoa this is REAL music made by REAL instruments played by REAL people.
This song is p sick, but I wish it were about 40s and not education or w/e gay shit. Also in this track the oft used trope of “A long string of words that have -ation at the end” is employed. Most people will think you r “a rly good rapper” because you rhyme so many words in a row, but they don’t realize that it is literally the easiest possible rap technique other than rhyming “nigga” with “nigga.”
This song is about how college and education is for rich faggots, and COOL kids drop out and rock and roll with all of their friends. If you have a friend who is thinking about dropping out of life to tour with his hxc band, send him this video so that he knows THIS is the kind of person he is. Also a decided Hollywood Undead influence in this track.
As you can clearly see, New Medicine are p sweet. I feel like the duality between songs about drinking and partying and songs about “real issues” pretty well sums up the life of your average college student at any given state university. I don’t talk to high school students, so I don’t really know if this band is what kids these days are into, but hopefully they go far and continue to stick it to the man!
they seem like they’d be totally huge in canada
and probably have a song featured in the upcoming season of sons of anarchy during one of those scenes where they ride their bikes through a backlot in indio or hemet
I can see them being really big in Alberta (the often-awful province I am from) but other than that not really.
I think too much tattoos and hair product to be even big in alberta… albertan here
I wonder what Lance Storm and Bret “The Hitman” Heart would think of this band eh?
That last video was put online in June 2011, and had a pic of the Jonas Brothers in it. Feel really sad for ppl who were still getting butthurt over them in 2011. Feel even more bad if anybody still gets butthurt over them in 2012. Also feel bad for non ironic use of the phrase Rock N’ Roll. And really feel bad for lyrics about sticking your finger to the man. This is just and endless spiral of bad feelings. :(
That’s the fun of it, though! These are fully grown adults acting like I wanted to when I was like…twelve. Don’t you see the glory?
I totally get you bro, thanks for posting this. Plus who cares I’d be down with this song if it came on the radio when I was working at a pizza place
“Dan Garland smiled and winked at me when I was outside of the venue they were at. I couldn’t sleep at all that night. lol”

Also, I honestly tought this kind of music died years ago. OR maybe this is the fabled New Wave of Directionless Hard Rock (NWODHR) I was waiting for with baited breath in 2007?
red state radio rock is a fascinating anthropological specimen.
the current academic consensus is 9/11 triggered a permanent temporal stasis in the heartland, placing all hard rockers in a parallel sub-reality where despite the linear progression of trends, technology, fads, scenes, etc. which mark most social and cultural phenomena, all facets of hard rock have remained exactly the same since 2000.
Now that all the military mooks are back from the ‘Raq, expect 2012 radio rock to finally realize all the potential of the year of our lord 2003.
I LOL’D
I wasn’t gonna bother reading this but then I saw the image of the wannabe-douche on the motorcycle’s still on youtube. Holy fucking shit, gold-mine of ‘I want to act like a badass and get pussy’ egotude but the guy seriously doesn’t fit the bill and its hilarious. He’s trying so hard I almost feel bad for him =[
Saw these guys open for Hollywood Undead, Stone Sour, and Avenged Sevenfold. Would politely watch again after coming in.
You should have played a drinking game in which the rules were “everytime someone is wearing a tapout shirt, I will take one half of a shot.” Wasted forever.
You’d die of alcohol poisoning, unless you are from a Soviet Bloc country
Hahaha oh wow
Holy crap, they opened for Avenged Sevenfold.. and Hollywood Undead? now those bands are the epitome of douchedom. And to see a band that’s trying to emulate aforementioned douchedom? mind = fuxed
Srsly one of the best shows I’ve been to.
“Also in this track the oft used trope of “A long string of words that have -ation at the end” is employed.” aka the Cavalera.
“the easiest possible rap technique other than rhyming “nigga” with “nigga.” Don’t forget “trigga”!
I seriously almost included that, but it’s VERY slightly more difficult than just using “nigga” because “nigga” can be used literally any time a line ends.
Lolol the girls in the first video were new medicine against me having a boner.
I feel like some label somewhere wanted a band like Jet, only ‘edgier’ and even less threatening at the same time. Then they realized it was a bad idea and cut it off, but the band stayed together to try it on their own with a loose grasp of the concept.
If I see a dude in a New Medicine shirt, betting 10-1 he lives in a trailer park.
I had the same thought, brah.
I’m confused about this band but did enjoy the first track in a I’ll enjoy one rockabilly song before each track becomes the same contrived bullshit displayed in the last.
The sauce is weak, bro.
when did chase from city lights join a hard rock band?
brb spiking up my hair and buying a PRS Singlecut
sounds like something i’d really have been into in middle school (srs). tons of awesomely mediocre radio rock bands sounded like this.
in el-lay, we call this gay-roq (KROQ being the local “hard”rock station of this area)…
my pre-teen self wouldve thought these douches were cool =/
pshh college kix fucken ass tho.. the amount of pussy sitting in every classroom is amazing as you see what trendz the fresh fish come out w/…
They have the ability. I believe in them. They can curbstomp Nickelback for all I care, this is the new face of hard rock. I’d listen to it full blast in my minivan while waiting for the kids to come back from soccer practice.
“in rock n roll i got a PHD”
how does this happen
The first video seems like a cheap knock off version of the video for Queens of the Stoneage – Go with the flow.
