REMEDY's debut EP, STRANGE FAST NOW, was released independently in February 2009 and quickly earned the support of the UK's national press:
"Remedy have the best of both worlds: a great hard rock band, powerful, hooky songs and an infectious voice that combines the best aspects of the female voice with a rock edge." - METAL HAMMER
"A real kick-ass affair!" - ROCK SOUND MAGAZINE
"This six-track EP certainly underlines the fact that the young quartet have the right attitude, commitment and sheer musical nous to make an impact." - CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE
"Genuinely plying their trade for the sheer love of it, Remedy look dangerously like they may have all the key components in the palm of their hands." - ROOM THIRTEEN
REMEDY are noted for their 'all or nothing' live performances and so far have shared the stage with the likes of The Quireboys, Pearl Aday (Daughter of Meatloaf), Voodoo Johnson, Heaven's Basement, Logan and Dear Superstar. Don't miss this chance to catch them live!
