Alert the Medic's "We, the weapon" is the highly anticipated follow up to their 2006 Self-Titled debut. This album is nothing, if not forceful. A dynamic display of infectious melodies, passionate performances, and driven only by their collective rock tendencies. Fueled by childhood MTV propaganda and the beckoning bright lights of their nearby Halifax metropolis, these former rural rockers are determined to fill the map with thumbtack holes.

In the spring of 2009, Alert the Medic temporarily relocated to Toronto and rejoined Currie to create the next installment in their collection. Toronto provided inspiration in the most unlikely of places - culture, history, people and poverty, overthrown by an endless skyline and glimpses of beauty, all tangled within a concrete jungle. These experiences were pivotal in the development of Alert the Medic’s unique sound. "We, the weapon" is an excellent representation of big city claustrophobia and small town frustration, citing that somewhere in-between there is always room for another voice. Songs such as "Let's hear it for the Symphony" and "The wound that won't heal", call on the youth of the world to stand up and be counted, while "The Weatherman (pt.2)" presents a haunting tone, finding the lack of light at the end of the tunnel.

"We, the weapon" was released in September 2009 at the Seahorse Tavern in their collective hometown of Halifax and has received 2010 East Coast Music Award nominations for the Sirius Satellite Rock Recording of the Year and the Vibe Creative Group Single of the Year for "Atlas", the debut release from the album. “Atlas” was in rotation nationally for over 14 weeks and cracked Mediabase's Top 50 Active Rock Canadian Charts. It continues to break ground charting on college radio stations from coast to coast, such as the University of Toronto's CIUT Top 30; Thompson Rivers University's Top 30 in Kamloops, BC; and Cape Breton University’s Top 30 on CAPR Radio in Sydney, NS. Alert the Medic's blue- collared approach to touring and compelling live performances make them a stand out in the East Coast Music scene.

"...man, did they ever wake people up."
Kate Harper - 2009 Canadian Music Week Showcase Review for Chart Attack - Toronto, ON

"We, the weapon by Halifax natives, Alert The Medic is fast-paced, heavy-hitting fun."
Ryan Conway, Reviewer, East Coast Overture
