New Medications Album Scheduled For April 2010
12.23.09
Medications have wrapped up recording and mixing their new album, Completely Removed, and if all goes as planned it should be released on CD/LP/MP3 in April 2010. This album documents a new phase for the band with Chad Molter and Devin Ocampo covering all the writing and most of the instrumental duites following the departure of Andrew Becker. They are joined live and in the studio by longtime friend and musical swingman Mark Cisneros. Completely Removed represents a bit of a departure from the band's signature off kilter rockers and dives headlong into more uncharted waters with what we think are absolutely thrilling results. Stay tuned!
