Alert The Medic

This Halifax based, four piece rock band has been winning over audiences everywhere with their anthemic sound and high energy performances. Alert The Medic are Ryan MacDonald, vocals/guitar/piano; Troy Arseneault, guitar; Matt Campbell, bass; and Dale Wilson, drums. Alert The Medic represents the very definition of a truly independent artist, proving time and again that they are a force to be reckoned with. There’s no denying their high energy rock & roll makes them an explosive group - on disc or in concert! 2015 was an exciting year for Alert The Medic, kicked-off with a full house show at The Marquee in Halifax with veteran rockers Big Wreck and ending with a sold out NYE show at Casino New Brunswick with Our Lady Peace and I Mother Earth. In between was a cross Canada Tour; a showcase on the ECMA Rock stage in St. John’s, NL; and a Festival performance in St. Pierre, FR with Finger Eleven and Crash Karma. “Hanna And The Ocean”, the third single from The Phantom Moves, rose to #2 on The Verge’s weekly countdown, The Grocery List, sandwiched between The Sam Roberts Band and The Fast Romantics and was selected for the #21 position of the SiriusXM Canadian Top 40 Songs of 2015. Their single “Echo and Fade” was featured during a Toronto Blue Jays “Russell Martin Bobblehead” promotion and their song “This Is Our Time” aired internationally on MLB Central’s Sportnet during the 2015 World Series. The group has performed live on CTV’s nationally syndicated The Marilyn Denis Show and their songs have been broadcast internationally on TV during the 2014 NHL Awards televised live from Las Vegas on the NHL Network, CBC, NBCSN; on Sportsnet’s MLB Central throughout the entire 2014 Postseason as well as during the 2014 and 2015 World Series; featured on NHL.com and CFL.ca in SiriusXM Ultimate Replay segments; and on Global TV’s hit series, Rookie Blue. The Phantom Moves is the group’s third full-length studio project and was recorded at The Pocket Studios in Toronto with Producer, Mike Turner, (co-founder/former guitarist of the multi-platinum band Our Lady Peace and current member of Crash Karma). The album received two 2014 Music Nova Scotia Award Nominations for Group Recording of the Year and Rock Recording of the Year. The first single, Echo And Fade climbed the MediaBase charts all the way to #20 on the Canadian Active Rock and #30 on the Alternative Rock Charts. “Produced by Mike Turner (Crash Karma/Our Lady Peace), there's no messing about with textures and loops, no nods to trends, no murkiness, this is clean, vibrant rock.” - Bob Mersereau, CBC New Brunswick East Coast Music Review (The Phantom Moves) “I’ve not only witnessed them take over a room with the energy of their solid live show, but I have seen how their songs connect with people.” - Matt Wells, Former Music Journalist/Host, M3 (MuchMore Music) “Alert the Medic (ATM) has earned a reputation as one of the most compelling live rock bands on the East Coast.” - Carlton Munroe, Ex.
