Bio

Described by UK critics as “one of the most innovative of their era” and that “even to this day they sound brave and fresh”, Martha and the Muffins emerged from the early punk/new wave/art pop scene in 1977 – which was centered around various clubs along Toronto’s Queen Street West and the Ontario College of Art, where several members of the band were students.

The band was the first Canadian band to sign to a UK label and recorded their first album, Metro Music at The Manor Studio near Oxford, England. After “Echo Beach” became a top ten single around the world in 1980 and earned them a JUNO for Single of the Year, Martha and the Muffins toured extensively in Britain, Europe and North America. Since then, the band has released nine studio albums, three of which they co-produced with Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel). The songs they worked on together included the groundbreaking singles “Women Around The World At Work”, “Danseparc”, “Black Stations/White Stations”, “Come Out And Dance” and “Cooling The Medium”. They recently released their tenth studio album, Marthology: In And Outtakes.

“There is no other band which emerged from Canada’s fledgling punk scene which matters. Martha and the Muffins not only proved themselves superior in their native land, but revealed a musical and intellectual depth that is rare in rock’n’roll the world over. Their music is not only brilliant, but stands on par with the music of artists like Peter Gabriel, Roxy Music and David Bowie.” –Calgary Sun
