    This British band is especially known through their appearance as a support-act with Tourniquet on the 23rd of April in the Luxor Theatre in Arnhem, The Netherlands. But you might know these guys from the band Gethsemane Rose with which they made two albums. Bushbaby is way different, compared to the headliner. This is a heavy modern rock product and it tastes well. Medicine has five songs on it. Especially Medicine Man and Coffee are accessible rocksongs that cling to your musical memory the first time you hear them. It's a pity that they did such a short CD. According to me, this is a band of which we might hear more in the future. Available through the Music Works, PO Box 1193, Cheddar, BS27 3BF, England

    Other coverage for this album

    HM Magazine #75Reviewed by Doug Van PeltHere's some excellent melodic modern rock. Try mixing some of the radio friendly music of Everclear or Third Eye Blind with the grunge element of Stone Temple Pilots or even Collective Soul. Definitely pro and definitely ready to be heard by a broad audience. This is quite a good leap for the band that used to be called Gethsemane Rose. We'd have these guys on a Pick Of The Litter comp any day.
