It's hard not to like Christina Martin . She's charming, attractive, genuinely seems to appreciate her fans and the tradition that spawned her music, and she's put in the kilometres needed to build a fan base. In an age where the internet equates to hacky demos being broadcast to thousands of people and getting to open for big bands months before they are ready, Martin still plays house shows in rural communities hoping to connect to each and every possible listener. If the general music world is full of planes, she's a romantic, slow moving train trekking across the [...]

der musikmarkt ist so breit, es wird immer irgendwo veröffentlicht. wer sich intensiv mit der materie beschäftigt, dem wird auch auffallen, dass es das vielbeschworene sommerloch nicht gibt. es ist maximal ein löchchen, das sich auftut, wenn die großen firmen etwas herunterfahren. aber alle anderen kämpfen weiter ums überleben. wir auch: aus chicago und neu auf abandoned love records , mit "piecemeal" wollen sie ab 17. august gewaltig durchstarten, allerdings eher auf samtenen pfoten, sehr feinsinnig, sehr schön: like pioneers - gift like a holiday [...]

Last night found a collection of low flying stars gathering in Halifax @ The Seahorse Tavern. We had Guthries, Kinley Dowling and her stlying boots, Share, In-Flight Safety, Heavy Blinkers and many many more. Out of nowhere, Matt Mays keyboard man Adam Baldwin delivered a country fused, Tom Petty-inspired collection of rocker to warm things up, and then Matt Charlton flooded the stage with at least 8 friends including Christina Martin, Jason MacIsaac, Andrew Sisk, Dan Ledwell and Jon Mullane. The band ran out of outputs, so Charlton was forced to bust out interpretive dance moves and drink instead of [...]

It's almost the weekend, and for all you youngens it's probably close to the end of your term/school year so you might as well head out on Friday for some drinks and great local music. Christina Martin - you know, #13 on our Best-of 2008 list - and The Prospector's Union (complete with 9 piece backing band) are fixing to crank out the jams at The Seahorse on Friday night , and thanks to Ms. Martin, we have 2 tickets for one lucky reader. All you have to do is [...]

With fall taken a stranglehold on the province, it's pretty fitting that the last two artists have been talented rootsy females that are tailor made for the season change. While Ruth Minnikin has made a name for herself locally and across the pond, Christina Martin still toils in relative obscurity. As someone hoping to promote the talent trapped here on the East Coast, that frustrates me to no end. Ms. Martin is one of my favorite singers, but much like the honey voiced Rose Cousins , she doesn't seem to get nearly enough attention in [...]

When it comes to promoting East Coast acts, there aren't many people working harder than Matt Charlton (well, except us of course). I remember when herohill first started getting emails from his PR firm – efficient, easy to download snippets without any of the glowing hyberbole that plagues not only music PR people, but bloggers as well – and I assumed Matt was just a guy that loved music and wanted to find a way to make a living from it. Now, a year or so later his roster has grown and [...]

myspace :: web site " I was like all those people who suddenly shaved their heads and said they'd always been punks, they'd been punks before punk was even thought of: I felt as though I was going to be found out at any moment ." That classic line from Nick Hornby's High Fidelity summed up the affect music and pop culture has on the masses and while the spirit of punk is dead in '08, the idea remains the same. Today, even the most fashionable of establishments sell "vintage" [...]
