Days before the release of their new album Dial M For Meds, New York punk band Taking Meds have delivered a new track from the forthcoming release today.

“The Other End” is the fourth and final single coming from Dial M For Meds, which arrives this Friday (September 1) via Smartpunk Records. The band said this about the new tune:

"'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."

Pre-orders for Dial M For Meds can be made here.

Taking Meds will be promoting the new album on the road with Smoking Popes, Born Without Bones, and Spite House along with festival appearances at Furnace Fest and The Fest. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
