Trock On!

Thanks to Alex Day who has created a whole new genre of music inspired by Wrock (Wizard Rock (Harry Potter fan-music)) called..

Trock

Trock stands for Time-Lord Rock! Can you guess what kind of songs are played in this genre of music? Doctor Who related songs (as Doctor Who is a time-lord). The movement began the end of July (officially) and it's already attracted loads of Doctor Who fans to the forum which can be found here.

The type of music I've heard so far only hits typical rock (acoustic/electric guitar/drums) but as the genre is still young and though many bands have bloomed in this genre, its still very new. The song lyrics by all the bands are based on situations, relationships, characters and places within the Doctor Who universe. People are coming up with some amazing lyrics all the time and some really great band names inspired by Doctor Who. Here are just a few:

• The Bad Wolves
• Chameleon Circuit (the band that started it all..)
• It's a Sonic Screwdriver
• Paradox
• Time and Relative Dimensions in Rock
• The Medusa Cascade
• Companion
• Torchwood Institute
  

More can be found at the forum, so go sign up :) It's a fantastic community and there are always talks on Classic/New Doctor Who episodes, spin-offs such as Torchwood/Sarah Jane Chronicles and then random discussions on Pandas.

There are many videos of the songs already up on youtube and myspace, so either sign up on the forum and check out the Songs forum or go to youtube and type in 'trock' - should hopefully find all of them (if they're smart enough they would have tagged the videos with 'trock' at least). If you're a Doctor Who fan this will definately be your cup of tea!

As for me, I have my own one man band called Torchwood Institute which I haven't created anything for just yet, a few lyrics here and there but I really need to sit down and have a think where I want to go with it. Torchwood > Doctor Who! Hehe.
