The road can make a dream feel bigger while quietly shrinking everything you left at home. OUT IN FRONT turn the contradiction of guilt, distance, and self-focus that can come with chasing music full time into the hard-hitting new single Medicine. Written after lead vocalist Madie Renner forgot her father’s birthday while touring, the song lands with the kind of clarity that only arrives after a personal mistake you can’t laugh off. Ryen Wagner’s bassline gives the track its nostalgic pull, while Joel Ferber’s production lets the guitars and drums hit with force. The accompanying video, co-directed by Noa Volk and the band, shows us the tension of motel rooms, highways, backstage spaces, and the small pauses where homesickness tends to get loudest. Renner traces the song back to the moment that forced her to stop and take inventory, saying:
It poured out of me after forgetting my dad’s birthday on tour and feeling so terrible. It was a reality check moment that punched me in the gut.
"Medicine" works because it doesn’t romanticize touring. It lets ambition and regret occupy within the same frame. That reckoning arrives as OUT IN FRONT prepare for another major stretch on the road, joining Charlotte Sands across North America. Madie Renner, Isaiah Volk, and Ryen Wagner only met in 2024 while working as tennis coaches, but the trio has already moved from a fully DIY start to millions of streams, an AWAL deal, and support slots with Yellowcard, The All-American Rejects, Sublime, AJR, and Wet Leg. Take notice of who and what you're taking with you while OUT IN FRONT keep going with "Medicine." Connect with the band on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
