The Medics emerged as an Australian rock ensemble originating from Cairns, Queensland in 2007. By April 2010, the group shifted base to Brisbane. The founding members comprised Emma Andrews, Jhindu Lawrie, Charles Thomas, and Kahl Wallis. Subsequently, Andrew Thomson joined, expanding the band to five before Andrews exited. Their development was guided by Lawrie’s father, Bunna Lawrie of Coloured Stone.
Their initial release was a self-titled EP in 2008, followed by a second EP in 2010. In 2010, they earned the Deadly award for Band of the Year and gained entry to the Groovin' the Moo festival through a Triple J Unearthed competition. They also appeared in the Foxtel documentary Who We Are during NAIDOC Week.
The band’s first full-length album, Foundations, was launched on 18 May 2012 under the Footstomp label. It was spotlighted as a featured album on Triple J and attained a peak position of No. 29 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart dated 28 May 2012.
