ECMA & SpinCount Present: Alert the Medic Video from Oct 2nd!

On October 2nd, 2010, ECMA & SpinCount held a member's night at the Seahorse Tavern in Halifax, Nova Scotia to showcase our first round of four acts from across the regions of Atlantic Canada. Andy Brown, Tim Chaisson & Morning Fold, Telfer, and Alert the Medic all put on an incredible show for a packed house - and we had a great team filming each set! The team @ Said Productions set out to develop a profile video for the event in its entirety, as well as separate instalments for each performing artist. 

Our last video in this series is Halifax's Alert the Medic with 'Cardboard Cutout'. Click on the link below to be directed to our YouTube Channel where you can view the last four videos released. 

We'll be working on the videos from the 2nd ECMA & SpinCount Presents show (Andrew Hunter and the Gatherers, Arrows in the Air, Slowcoaster) to release after 2011 East Coast Music Week. We'll see you in Charlottetown on April 13-17!

ECMA E-News Alert the Medic - The Weatherman Pt. 2 Single & Video Released

Alert the Medic - The Weatherman Pt. 2 Single & Video Released
via ATM

(Halifax, NS) – Alert The Medic have released the third single from their latest album, We, the weapon. “The Weatherman Pt. 2” was launched to national radio and the music video can be viewed on their youtube site – www.youtube.com/alertthemedic.

The video offers a glimpse into the powerful lyrics and compelling rhythms presented in “The Weatherman Pt. 2”. Those familiar with Alert The Medic’s 2006 Self-titled album are brought back, with haunting familiarity, to part one of the continuing story.

The project was filmed, directed and edited by photographer and filmmaker Thomas Cantley. Mr. Cantley has been making his presence known in the Halifax arts community since his unexpected relocation back to Nova Scotia from New York. He is currently working on a documentary film,“Ballsy Journey”, which chronicles his own personal battle with testicular cancer. The film investigates and examines testicular cancer’s growing potency and prevalence in men between the ages of 15-40 years old - www.ballsyjourney.com. Alert The Medic were thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside such a talented and insightful individual.

The release and video kick off the first leg of group’s fall schedule. Alert The Medic’s “Ontourio” dates include:
