History

edit

New Medicinewas originally formed asA Verse Unsungby two friends, Jake Scherer and Dan Garland, who were attendingOrono High Schoolat the time. The two would write lyrics during classes then work through them musically at the Scherer family's farm inMedinawhere he lived. Kenny Fritze and Aaron Gates were later added to the band and eventually replaced. They signed toPhoto Finish Recordsafter forming the new band with Ryan Guanzon and Matt Brady, calling themselves New Medicine.[2][3][4][5]Their debut album,Race You to the Bottom,was released September 18, 2010. The band has toured with major recording artists such asAvenged Sevenfold,Halestorm,Buckcherry,andStone Sour.Their songs "Race You to the Bottom," "Laid," and "Rich Kids" have all been added into rotation on Sirius XM Radio's Octane Channel. "Laid" hit number 32 on theMainstream Rockchart in Spring 2011, "Race You to the Bottom" hit number 19 on the Mainstream Rock chart in Spring 2012, and "Rich Kids" hit number 31 on the Mainstream Rock chart in Fall 2012, respectively. On December 21, 2012, Brady announced he was leaving the band to spend more time withJoy2theWorld,which helps women and children in Ghana, west Africa. Later the same year, Ryan Guanzon left the band to produce music. Dylan Wood (ex-Emphatic) took the drums duties since then, and Kyle LeBlanc took over on bass guitar. They released their second albumBreaking the Modelon August 26, 2014 via Imagen Records, with the lead single "One Too Many" hitting number 40 on the Mainstream Rock. The band said on their Facebook page that they had begun work on a new album as of November 28, 2013, and it was released on August 25, 2014. Guanzon returned to the band for a single performance on guitar in April 2015 in the band's hometown of Medina, doing so because Garland, the lead guitarist, was not able to be there. Brady also made an appearance on-stage that same night as he was in attendance. On April 27, 2015, it was announced that the band would be going on an indefinitehiatus.This hiatus was ended on December 5, 2019, when the band declared via Facebook that they were working on a new album due to their increased following on Spotify. On March 13, 2020, they released their first song of the new albumDie Tryingwith the same name. At the end of January 2021, the rock band posted in all social networks the news about the release of a new single together withAdelitas Way.[6][7]On March 12, they released a new single "Own It" which contains a track of the same name and a rock remix.
