A surprise from Taking Meds

Posted in Records on March 16, 2024

Continuing a developing trend we appreciate, another band has released a surprise record in advance of an upcoming tour.

This time the record is a new EP from Taking Meds, Ext Meds, out now with three songs -- two B-sides from last year's Dial M For Meds and a cover of My Blood Valentine's "Drive It All Over Me." 

"We put EXT MEDS together because although these songs didn't make the record, we still felt we wanted to share them. We had a lot of b-sides from Dial M For Meds, but these three were fully realized and although they didn't fit the vibe of the record, they're still very representative of us as a band," explains vocalist/guitarist Skylar Sarkis.

The band hits the road in May.
