There’s an underground movement of indie rock entitled “Trock,” or “Time Lord Rock,” which, as you might guess, is rock music about Doctor Who. It’s pretty awesome. The pioneering Trock band is Chameleon Circuit out of the UK. Here are a couple of their hits (videos made by users.) Enjoy the shit out of them.
You’re Welcome

You’re such a nerd Chris! Alas, we love it.
WHOA! Popular YouTubers on Nerdist! Awesome!
I agree with Wafa. Where’s our Harry and the Potters post? Or a post about the Annual Yule Ball held at the Middle East in Boston every year since 2005? There are so many wrock bands out there, you’d be surprised.
One word:
DFTBA
wooh!! chameleon circuit are AMAZING.
they might be coming out with a new album soon, alex day and charlie mcdonnell – the original men of the movement – have created two new songs that are on their youtube accounts: nerimon and charlieissocoollike. :]
CHECK IT GUISE~
Loving the Trock love! Charlie and Alex, the founders of Trock, are two totally awesome guys!!
*speechless*
I cant even think of something witty and fabulous. I cant explain with words how happy this makes me…
at least they used the sexy doctor in the second one. the first video. its alright. *blinks* O SHIT NOOOOOOO i missed some of the video.
I second John’s tip… Check out Z’s comp at http://www.hipsterplease.com
Whoa! I’m really glad I’ve know about Chameleon Circuit and Trock for a while now. Each member amazing, and they’re all Nerdfighters.
Dr. Who is in my head!! I watched blink for the first time about 2 minutes ago and i’m watching the blink video now. Trippy
Sounds good, but I doubt they’ll have the success of the Timelords with Doctorin’ the Tardis, despite a lot more originality in the work. (They probably weren’t working from The Manual). Dr. Who as an inspiration for music doesn’t start with being inspired by Wrock.

Charlie from Chameleon Circuit does an acoustic ukelele version
of Exterminate Regenerate that’s amazing. His channel is charlieissocoollike. Highly recommended!
I look forward to the new movement of Prock, where all the songs are about male genitalia. I just don’t want to think about what the band names will be. Wait.. actually, yes I do.
OMG!! I am so super excited b/c of this post. I remember when Alex (from Chameleon Circuit) first vlogged about Trock. I think you need to post about Wrock (wizard rock= Harry Potter) next b/c that is where Alex got the idea for Trock.
I hope you discovered this via our conversation on Node and you are grateful. 😀
Makes me want to re-watch blink. One of the best Tennant era episodes 🙂
I love Doctor Who……this just made my fucking life…….
Wow, awesome. So glad you posted this! Already enjoying their tracks, hoping my girlfriend will love it just as much!
Great post and thanks for the reminder about Chameleon Circuit, so fun and great expression of love for Doctor Who. You should get a person from Doctor Who to be on your podcast, that would be “fantastic!”
Oh, the memories. Will those robotic Nazis ever truly die? David you will be missed (tear drop).
