Los Angeles-based Alt-Rock trio Out In Front have expanded their sonic world with “Medicine” out now with an accompanying music video via AWAL. Next month, they’ll head out across North America to support Alt-Pop musician Charlotte Sands.

“Medicine” came together quickly in the days following lead vocalist and primary songwriter Madie Renner getting to grips with forgetting her father’s birthday. The song explores “the feelings of selfishness and disconnectedness that come with prioritizing oneself in pursuit of a dream.”

Renner shares:

It came together really fast–in three hours–one of the fastest songs we’ve ever made. It poured out of me after forgetting my dad’s birthday on tour and feeling so terrible. It was a reality check moment that punched me in the gut.

‘Medicine’ is about longing for the simplicity of childhood, when life felt lighter, happiness came naturally, and the world didn’t feel so heavy. It’s a reminder to look up and not let life’s pace steal the joy that’s right in front of us.

On the song’s bassline, Renner adds,

We felt like we were missing a bass-driven track on the project, so we called up our bass player, Ryen, and he came in with this nostalgic, groovy riff that became the foundation of the song. It was one of those rare moments where everything just clicked with producer Joel Ferber.

The accompanying video, co-directed by Noa Volk and the band, looks behind the curtain at life on the road.

Volk shares:

The ‘Medicine’ music video shows what tour is really like for an up and coming band. Missing home, friends moving on, and wondering if you’re doing the right thing are side effects of pursing what you’re meant to do. Chasing a dream is really hard out on the road but doing it with your family and best friends makes it so much easier; ‘Medicine’ embodies just that.

Madie Renner, Isaiah Volk, and Ryen Wagner met in 2024 as tennis coaches. After bonding over music, the trio quickly began writing songs and playing live shows together, fully DIY. They’ve supported some of their favorite bands including Yellowcard, The All-American Rejects, Sublime, AJR, Wet Leg, and more. After a recent signing to AWAL and a string of shows with Charlotte Sands, they promise much more to come.
