Panacea music
Raw grunge for Brighton's basement venues and your speakers
Recording "Remedies for nothing"
Remedies for nothing was made to sound like a band in a room, not a product in a lab. No Auto-Tune. No quantised drums. No post-production magic erasing human imperfection.
If there's a crack in Maya's voice during an emotional peak, it stays. If Finn's guitar is slightly out of tune because he bent the string too hard, it stays. The imperfections are the point.
The goal was grunge's old balance: power without over-production, clarity without clinical sterility, emotion without performance. Raw, gritty, honest.
Featured release: Remedies for nothing
Remedies for nothing is Panacea's debut album, released in 2025. It's 12 tracks and just over 43 minutes of working-class frustration set to distorted guitars and dual male and female vocals, streaming now on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and Bandcamp.
This isn't background music. It's grunge that demands you feel something. The themes:
Mental health without toxic positivity
Economic anxiety and the cost of living, without making poverty noble
Social media damage without preaching
Modern life in Brighton without pretending it's fine
Remedies for nothing tracklist:
So full of empty promises (3:27): political rhetoric that means nothing, without party allegiance
I will live how I died (in my head) (4:03): the gap between who we are and who we perform
Rent day (4:20): the monthly dread of choosing between rent and everything else
Scroll damage (3:25): what endless scrolling does to your head
CV of failures (3:18)
Temporary fix (5:52)
Ghost read (1:52): the particular cruelty of being left on read
Yesterday's tomorrow (3:30)
Half-life (3:44)
Brightn't (2:25)
Prescription pending (3:17)
Better days (never come) (4:07)
Single releases
The album opener. Political frustration without party allegiance, just honest anger at systems that don't work. Track 1 on Remedies for nothing.
So full of empty promises
The most 2020s track on the album. If you've ever felt worse after an hour of scrolling, this is your soundtrack. Track 4 on Remedies for nothing.
Scroll damage
Track 2 and one of three singles. The gap between who you are and who you perform: beauty and brutality, often at once.
I will live how I died (in my head)
