The band's unique style originated through a melting pot of influences from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds,Tom Waits, John Lee Hooker and many other great artists, who when brewed together give you the jambalaya of swampy tones that can only be described as The Medicine Show. The screech a winch makes when rust has taken hold, sledgehammers on a rail, prison death songs or that feeling you get in your belly when you've drunk too much whiskey and eaten not enough food.
