Riot on the Gold Coast,
Ease The MedicEase The Medic have only played around 25 gigs together as a band, yet they have a sound far more mature than their relative youth would suggest. Playing a relatively complex post-hardcore that has nods towards bands like Circa Survive and mewithoutyou, the band twist and turn throughout the course of seven pretty intriguing tracks. And while it would be wrong to proclaim the quartet as the next big thing, there's certainly something about them which differs from your run of the mill 'emo' bands.
'Splitting Heirs As A Science' is a slow, brooding affair with plenty going on, yet its apparent complex make-up stops the five-minute plus track ever getting boring. And while it's far from catchy, it offers up a side to the band that nicely juxtaposes the band's more immediate songs. Both 'Diagonals' and 'Wearing White In The Blackout' have more melodies - even singalong parts in places - making them very pleasant listens indeed. For such a new band, there's definitely enough here to suggest we'll be hearing more from Ease The Medic in the future.
