Chameleon Circuitwas a band known for creating music inspired by the British television seriesDoctor Who. Composed of popular UK YouTube vloggers andDoctor Whofans, the band released their self-titled debut album on 1 June 2009.

At the beginning of 2011, Chameleon Circuit, in their new line-up of Alex Day, Charlie McDonnell, Liam Dryden, Ed Blann and American YouTuber Michael Aranda (who had originally signed up under a producing role), began work on their second albumStill Got Legs. It was released on 12 July 2011. and charted on the UK iTunes Album and Rock Album charts, and on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in the United States at #23.

Inspired by the growing phenomenon of Wizard rock, Alex Day, a YouTuber and fan ofDoctor Who, was inspired to begin writing songs about the TV series in summer 2008, and dubbed the resulting genre "Time Lord Rock" (or "Trock" for short). Charlie McDonnell, also a fan, did the same, and released an acoustic video performance of "Blink" on YouTube. With the addition of Scottish vloggers Liam Dryden and Chris Beattie, Chameleon Circuit were formed and immediately began work on their first album. It was arranged to be released under the newly founded DFTBA Records, which had been set up by Alan Lastufka and Hank Green later the same year, to provide popular YouTube musicians an outlet for releasing their music professionally.
