Nashville Post-Punk Band Unveil Debut Video From The Painted World EP

Song:
The latest Nashvillian signees to indie rock label, Jeffery Drag Records, Western Medication will release their debut 7" EP, Painted World, on January 29th. Their debut single, "Big City," is a 58-second high-octane song, which packs as much frenzy as is possible into such a short amount of time. Now, Western Meds is releasing a music video to match the single.
The visual accompaniment to "Big City" is every bit as fast paced and dynamic as the song itself. With fast cuts between shots of the band and New York City, quick camera movements, and splashes of vivid color effects, Western Medication has ensured that there is not even the slightest lull to slow the ride. The video perfectly captures the feeling of the unrelenting pace and disorientation that would overwhelm someone who has been dropped in the middle of the big city for the first time.
Please contact Gavin or Dory if interested in talking with Western Medication.

Background:
Western Medication formed in December 2011 in Nashville, TN. After sticking Justin Landis with hundreds of acupuncture needles, his doctor warned him in a thick Chinese accent, "No more western meds!" A decade of masking symptoms and playing in Nashville's punk scene had brought Landis to a tipping point. He flushed his ailments sans deductibles, made a rhythm section out of Bad Cop's Adam Moult and Kevin Kilpatrick, and Alycia Wahn from Useless Eaters, and molded a refreshing southern take on post-punk. It's the coolness of Wire with the veracity of The Damned, the pulse of Joy Division with the ethereal guitars of the Jesus and Mary Chain. Western Medication will release The Painted World, their debut 7" record, via Jeffery Drag Records on January 29th, 2013.
Jeffery Drag Records was formed in early 2009 by Adam Moult, frontman of Nashville based band Bad Cop. The label was originally founded to release limited pressings of cassettes and vinyl for Bad Cop and other various acts including The Hussy, Pujol, and Little Viking. In 2011, Bad Cop bass player Mike Gicz joined the Jeffery Drag team, overseeing cassette releases from Ranch Ghost, Electric Dollhouse Groovebuggy, and Majestico. The third and final member of Jeffery Drag is R.J. Jennings. The label has grown tremendously, adding Natural Child, Useless Eaters, and Ghost Dance to the roster. Jeffery Drag Records is continuing to grow on a daily basis and has quickly become a name brand for groundbreaking rock and roll music in Nashville and across the country.
