Taylor Austin Dye’s latest single, “Pharmacy,” is an unstoppable juggernaut of modern country rock, delivering a powerful mix of raw emotion and edgy sound. This isn’t your typical heartbreak song; “Pharmacy” dives deep into the darker side of coping with loss, addressing the all-too-real issue of self-medicating with a blunt, unapologetic honesty.
