Ahead of the the release of their new full-length, Dial M For Meds, due out September 1st via Smartpunk Records,Taking Meds have shared “The Other End.” Produced/recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios (The Armed, Joyce Manor, NAILS) the album finds Taking Meds at their very best, leaning into college rock hooks while maintaining the energy and bite of their post-hardcore roots. The track follows “Outside,” “Memory Lane,” and “Life Support”.

Sarkis discussed the new track, saying:

“”The Other End’ was one of the first songs we wrote for this record. I’ve had the chorus melody in my head for a couple years. I’m really glad it came together the way it did. One of the main themes in this song is mundanity. When you have a vision for how something should go, or even how your entire life should go, it’s always going to get filtered through reality and come out looking pretty different. There is, of course, something wonderful about that, but this song talks about about how disappointing and empty that can feel.”
