(This page is about the American noise rock pop band. For the English electronic act of the same name, see Medicine(2)).
Medicine are an American noise rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1990 by guitarist/keyboardist Brad Laner. They are perhaps best known for their cameo appearance in the 1994 film The Crow, in which they performed "Time Baby II", although the soundtrack album included a different version titled "Time Baby III" (featuring guest vocals from the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser).
The group were signed to Creation Records, becoming the first American band to do so. In America, Medicine signed to Rick Rubin's American Recordings label in 1992. After several albums and singles, the group split in 1995 and reformed briefly in 2003.

Aruca by Medicine
25 July 1992: Aruca (12 inch) Creation Records (JP: ‘I don’t know what that [Aruca] means. Whenever I don’t know what things mean they’re usually references from some book I should have read or they’re kinds of lubricants to be used below the waist. I think I’ll shall say no more about that. This next one is for the Pig, and it’s a particular favourite from 1975.’)
