Olympia: a goodbye and hello from MEDIC sabato, 29 ottobre 2016 15:06 by madseason
Medic - If I Could Stay

Medic is a new band to me. They come from Denver, Colorado and are known for their high energy and beautifully melodic music that should appeal to fans of Copeland, Coldplay, U2 and Paper Route.

Since 2011, Medic has been traveling the country playing bars, clubs, schools, and main stage at festivals upwards of 50,000 people representing their 5 song debut EP Grace And Gravity. Over the years the band has enjoyed success on those 5 songs they never even dreamed while navigating the many successes and trails of growing up. Getting married, buying houses, life, death, and beyond, the band used all the experience stored up in the last five years to give us a transparent album that doesn't dare placate to the listener with cliches and emotional band-aids but a solidarity and earnestness to press on in the face of personal adversity.

This album, the full-length debut for Medic, is called Olympia and was released last June on Monogold Records, with production handled by lead singer Aaron Wagner and Brad Nyght.

Developing a sound that's well beyond their years and still true to their youth, Medic completed the lean but powerful 9 track work, Olympia, an album that the band says is altogether a goodbye and hello. A goodbye to a five year season and all of the trimmings of what life can throw your way and a hello to what is to come, which after listening is a bright future indeed.
