Taking Meds Release New Album “Dial M For Meds”

Taking Meds have released their new full-length, Dial M For Meds, that is now available via Smartpunk Records. Produced and recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios the album finds Taking Meds at their very best, leaning into college rock hooks while maintaining the energy and bite of their post-hardcore roots. To celebrate the release, the band have also announced another lengthy run of US tour dates for the Fall, including shows with Smoking Popes, Public Opinion, Lurk, Jivebomb and more.

Since forming in 2013, Taking Meds have often been a band that doesn’t neatly fit into any one category. Now on Dial M For Meds, the group have channeled all the inventiveness of their past work into the most direct and hook-driven songs they’ve ever written. The album manages to be instantly memorable and accessible while still having the teeth and eccentricity that longtime fans have come to expect from Taking Meds.

Dial M For Meds ’90s-influenced sound makes for the perfect delivery system for Skylar Sarkis‘ lyrics which provide cynical, hilarious, and deeply human commentary on spending your adulthood chasing the often intangible high of creative pursuits.
