_The Medics - Joseph (Single) (16/01/2012)
_
A biblical name or could it just be a homage to Messer J. Mascis of Dinosaur
Jr. fame?
The Medics’ single, Joseph, is just under four minutes of energetic, convention-defying unpredictability. The group are proud of their inability to be pigeonholed and are still content to continue exploring their “sound” and this certainly shines through on this rocking song.
There is expansiveness, melody and a punch like contemporaries, Step-Panther, but also a light pop feel à la The Temper Trap.And for my money the song also boasts the excellent lyric: “You build walls to cover your pride”. Bring on the debut LP!
