'''Medicine''' is an alternative noise-pop/rock band from [[the San Fernando Valley]], [[USA]]. They were formed in [[1991]] by guitarist [[Brad Laner]] and signed to [[Rick Rubin]]'s [[American Recordings]] label the following year. Medicine was/is considered the American parallel to fellow [[shoegazers]] [[My Bloody Valentine]]. With a signature guitar tone, created by running guitarist's [[Brad Laner]]'s guitar through a Yamaha [[4-track (multitrack)|4-track]] recorder, Medicine's music managed to distinguish itself from some of the noisier and more ambiguous endeavours of the shoegazing movement.
Medicine performed Thursday night, May 5th, 1994 at [[CBGB]] in [[New York City]].
Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan remixed "She Knows Everything" from Medicine's [[Buried Life]] in 1994, also adding [[Jimmy Chamberlin]]'s drums to the mix.
Medicine made a brief appearance as themselves in the film ''[[The_Crow_(film)|The Crow]]''.
