HCK9’s latest single ‘MEDICINE’ comes with an alternative rock heart that’s tinge with electronic elements. Whilst major inspirations such as Twenty One Pilots, Placebo and Jimmy Eat World can be found in his music, he retains his individualism within his music. Drums smash through the mix, forming a formidable partnership when paired with the bass. Guitars come over-drive soaked and make an instant impression. On top, his vocals are emotionally tinged and infectious.
Speaking further about the release, he says: “(I’m not your) Medicine” some might say is a little too metaphorical to say in an argument but the sentiment however, rings true.
Whether it may be a parent, toxic ex or a friend who just can’t get the hint, 9/10 people will have gone through a situation where they are pushed past the human ability to shoulder the weight of someone’s crumbling life. If this hasn’t happened to you, I hate to say it but you may want to seek out a therapist. Medicine is all about drawing a line in the sand between my need to save everyone and the people who can’t be or don’t want to be saved. It’s the battle against a hero complex sown into my very being and the inability to say what needs to be said.This is a goodbye letter to the self destructive people who refuse to take responsibility for their own life, and make it everyone else’s problem.”
With more work in the pipeline, we can’t wait to hear what he’s got next in store after this. It’s clear that HCK9 is on a journey, and we can’t wait to see where he’ll take it.
