Doctor Ouch and the Medications
We are a deliciously different band that rocks!
Christian rock, punk, new wave, and much more.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started out in 2001 playing and recording unrehearsed songs. We made a horrible compact disc with 14 songs and sold a bunch at school. Most of the songs were never planned or practiced. Our original band was The Consecrated, which included the company of 3 exmembers, but the only ones to survive the band's struggle to live out its dream to play songs for fun and commit to being who we stood for were Ray and Joey. We then killed the band name because it was taken by some European gothic metal band.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We always play live. We dont play pre-recorded. We play live when practicing, performing, and recording.
Your musical influences

Anything else?
The type of music we call our own can be classified as being a simple complexity of syncopated tones entwined with an electrifying energy and an ocean of emotion. But we are not "emo." Most emo bands only know one emotion- sorrow. Our music isn't consumed by sadness, but a blend of feelings from joy to disgust. Our music isn't meant to be just noise, but something that your mind can soak up and get something out of.
