EAST COAST HEROES ALERT THE MEDIC ANNOUNCE CANADIAN TOUR DATES INCLUDING SHOWCASE AT CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK
After a triumphant 2010, Halifax’s Alert the Medic are kicking off 2011 with some time away from home. March will see the band tour Ontario and Quebec and bring their memorable live set to Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Much like the east coast of Canada, it shouldn’t take long for Ontario and Quebec to accept their emotion-stuffed alternative rock in to their hearts.
Alert the Medic have toured alongside Ill Scarlett and shared stages with Our Lady Peace, The Arkells, Hollerado, and more. Last year they were recognized as one of the east coast’s leading bands. They received 4 nominations at the Nova Scotia Music Awards and early 2011 it was announced that they are nominated for the much coveted “Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year” award at the East Coast Music Awards. The band released their sophomore effort last year to rave reviews. The Chronicle Herald expressed, “We, the Weapon is nothing if not forceful.” Each track is a well-polished example of Alert The Medic’s driving rock attack and fine attention to melodic detail”. Music director for radio station 94.1 ECFM exclaimed, “Given the right opportunity, this band could really take the country by storm.”
The band’s live show leaves the same sort of lasting impression. After playing last year’s Canadian Music Fest, ChartAttack reviewed, “…man, did they ever wake people up”.
