"We'd been fiddling about with the idea of covering this tune for a while, at the same time, we kinda thought of it as one of the "Un-coverable” masterpieces. I suppose during all that "Covidy Apocalyptic Energy" we changed our minds, did a home recording of it and threw it on the record. Glad we did that. Really proud of the rendition we've put out." – Greg Alan, vocals/guitars.
The Medicine Dolls are a band that the world really needs right now, revelling in a glorious time in music history where political correctness and moral judgment did not exist. With untamed fury and a glammed-out fervour for excess, they are the ultimate in sonic chaos, wrapped tightly in streaked eyeliner and delicious danger.
They take their primary influence from the sound of the gritty underground 70's (think The Velvet Underground meets The New York Dolls in the celebrated CBGB’s bathroom), with lashings of 80's indie music, post-punk, and a crucial injection of filthy surf rock to emerge as a chemical and exuberant fusion of The Cramps, The Doors, and The 5.6.7.8’s, with more than a healthy nod to The Birthday Party in all their infamous glory. In the five years that they have been visiting the planet, the trio have released five EP's on their own steam and barely survived several extensive national tours, as well as featuring on numerous underground compilations and global publications.
