The standout band of this year's The Great Escape, Medicine Cabinet have shared their second ever single. 'Factor 50' is inspired by "everyone's favourite anti-hero" Sharpay Evans, which is pertinent, since the song is ridden with pop energy despite its obvious categorisation in the Glaswegian indie guitar scene.

Vocalist Anna Acquroff brings her extraordinary range to this one: check out those high notes! Sharpay would be proud.

“This is the hyper-fantasy of an agitated beach babe, who’s experience of sunburn and heatstroke serves as an analogy for trust," Acquroff said.

“It’s an anthem for whether someone will have your back (covered in suncream properly) or if they’ll watch while you suffer. It explores suspicion and hope, served with ice and topped with a paper parasol. It will wink at you from behind scratched silver sunglasses, and then burst into flames.”
