Chameleon Circuit was a band that played music about Doctor Who, a genre called "Trock" (Time Lord Rock).[1] Alex Day, one member of the band, was said to have created this genre, though other bands played songs about Doctor Who before them. They originated on the video-sharing site YouTube, where all band members actively posted videos and used it as their main form of promotion for their songs. They released two albums.
