Marc and Megan Tweed, joined by time traveling guitar strangler, Jeff Doom, investigate the possibilities presented by brain-damaging beats, shrieking guitars and the screams and moans of a grateful, cult-bound abductee. Formed in San Francisco in 2004, they've disgraced stages with the likes of Made Out of Babies, Foxboro Hot Tubs, 16, Black Elk, Ludicra, Subacracnoid Space, Black Heart Procession, Akimbo, We March, The Prids, Sixteens, Ghostigital, Chow Nasty, Wormwood, Giant Squid, Sirhan Sirhan, Hostile Combover, Indian Jewelry, The Long and Short of It and many others.

"Seattle's The Family Curse have a good thing going…if ultraviolent art rock is what you're seeking, look no further"

"…the drug-addled love child of Big Black and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.…The Family Curse are not afraid to take a different approach, releasing a product of experimentation, and the outcome is effective, proving that not everything needs to be defined to be considered worthy."

Metro Spirit top 10 of 2009
"White Medicine might even send Napalm Death-era Justin Broadrick running screaming from the room to find solace in a Swans EP. It's what karaoke would be like if it were co-emceed by Satan and Doris Day.

"…an album that seeks to destroy all conventional notions of pop, noise and industrial music. What emanates from the speakers is too glitchy to be melodic, too structured to be noise and just too damn weird to be ignored. If Six Organs of Admittance cross-pollinated with Jesus Lizard and asked Bjork to provide vocals, you might come close to imagining the sound of White Medicine."

"Roll Karen O and Get Hustle into a nice little spliff and you have the right idea, but that's only the beginning. Sprinkle in a liberal dose of Albini, along with some PRE, Jesus Lizard, Death Sentence: Panda, Blood Brothers, San Francisco's Pigeon, AIDS Wolf and maybe even some Sneaker Pimps every so often…"
