Formed by Chris Donathon and Hector Bagnod in 2005 as a side project. Their first single "Fer Sure" became a Myspace hit in 2007. The pair then decided to put more focus on The Medic Droid and went on to write more songs together, including "Keeping Up With the Joneses" and "FScene8". Eventually, they signed to Modern Art Records, an imprint label of Epic Records. Their first EP was released in June 2008, debuting at number 33 on the BillBoard Heatseaker's Chart.

From the burgeoning Phoenix music scene comes a band whose unmistakable sound and flamboyant style m
akes them, at once, supremely original and strikingly familiar. Comprised of vocalist Chris Donathon and Hector Bagnod. The Medic Droid encapsulate the very best elements of their electronica/new wave forefathers, while simultaneously carving their very own niche in today’s overcrowded, underwhelming music scene.
Led by Donathon’s instantly recognizable voice and backed by Bagnod original and creative riffs, beats and samples, The Medic Droid’s songs are an amalgam of dance, indie, punk rock and metal. Combining vocal hooks, pounding bass and electronic drums, The Droid take listeners on a roller coaster ride of emotion as they beat and finesse their way through sometimes sexy, sometimes brutal, always evocative songs laced with equal parts heart, emotion and energy.
What makes their meteoric rise even more special is that their label, Phoenix’s own Modern Art Records, is a label run by musicians, for musicians. Although under the Epic Record’s umbrella, Modern Art is a DIY label with an eclectic lineup and a simple albeit grandiose goal – create a musical revolution in their humble Phoenix neighborhood that before long, the world will be unable to ignore. The leaders of that revolution are The Medic Droid.
