Alert The Medic is an independent Canadian rock band formed in 2006 from Halifax, Nova Scotia. The group consists of vocalist and guitarist Ryan MacDonald, bassist Matt Campbell, guitarist Troy Arseneault and drummer Dale Wilson. They have independently released their third album The Phantom Moves on May 3, 2014 .

Alert the Medic formed in 2006 by members Ryan MacDonald, Jonathan MacDougall, Matt Campbell and Dale Wilson who grew up together in and around the town of Stellarton, Nova Scotia. They released their first full length album in 2006 which was co-produced and engineered by Laurence Currie.

In late 2007, guitarist Jonathan MacDougall left the band and the position was temporarily filled by Jon Landry of the Stanfields until the band found current guitarist Troy Arseneault in early 2008.

With the addition of Arseneault, the now Halifax based rock group had an impressive year in 2008, receiving two East Coast Music Award nominations for Rising Star Recording of the Year and Rock Recording of the Year. In September the band was also a part of the d250 Rollercoaster University tour in Nova Scotia featuring illScarlett, and opened for Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace at the Centre 200 in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

In March 2009, Alert the Medic made the move to Toronto, Ontario to record their second album We, the Weapon once again working with Laurence Currie. The album was recorded at Hallamusic, Greendoor Studios and The Echo Chamber and was independently released in September 2009. Alert the Medic received two 2010 East Coast Music Award nominations for Rock Recording of the Year and Single of the Year for We, the weapon's debut single Atlas and were nominated for Fan's Choice Entertainer of the Year in 2011

The third single from the album The Weatherman (Pt. 2) was featured on Season 4, Episode 6 of the ABC and Global TV show Rookie Blue on July 25, 2013.
