Luxury Of Despair

This is our brand new single 'Apple Tree', it's released on Jealous Lovers Club March 1st 2015. "A juicy nugget of pop goodness filled with indie rock riffs and luscious three-part harmonies, 'Apple Tree' takes aim straight at your feet - designed to make you dance and groove 'til you drop." 

Filmed on a glorious day in Wales, we got our very own Mini Dax (the super-talented Fin, Jack and Charlie) to headbang and swagger their way through a country house courtyard - like a more mature Britpop video.

'Apple Tree' is our first release of 2015, giving a preview of our fan-funded upcoming album 'Naughty Nation'. 

Release date: March 1st, 2015

Martyn Joseph is as performer like no other.
He has been called “The Welsh Springsteen”, but there are also shades of John Mayer, Bruce Cockburn and Dave Matthews there may be – but he stands in his own right, built on a reputation for giving what thousands have described as the best live music experience of their lives.

Juxtaposition is a key theme in Martyn’s work. The simplicity and the complexity of the human condition and all that it encompasses is underpinned with a heady promise of hope. There is a versatility to Martyn’s music that is hard to categorise. Many have tried, resulting in labels such as Folk, Rock, Soul, Folk Funk and Americana; all of which somehow miss the mark. But sometimes music doesn’t need a defining genre and with the ability to articulate a sense of the bigger picture, Martyn’s music and social commentary manage to empower and speak for many. His songs are pictures, and stories, and feelings all put to music and delivered by a master craftsman.

In 2013 Martyn released a CD of Bruce Springsteen songs, to great public and critical acclaim, with the glowing endorsement of Dave Marsh, acclaimed American music critic and official Springsteen biographer. 

2014 saw him take the spirit of his music onto a more practical footing with the launch of his "Let Yourself Trust", a not-for-profit organisation which aims to make a small difference out of great love and commitment by challenging injustice wherever it’s found, educating via advocacy, campaigning for human rights, and raising issues that have been forgotten or ignored via fundraising initiatives, thus bringing about greater awareness for beautiful people in powerless situations.

Martyn Joseph. A unique talent driven by passion and love for his trade, continues to write, sing and play from the heart.

 “Springsteen-indebted Americana, suspended folk chords glistening beneath troubadour tales, his lyrical eloquence still inspired almost 30 years on from his debut” - MOJO 

“One of the most charismatic and electrifying performers in Britain today…tough and passionate”  Tom Robinson BBC 6 music

“One of acoustic music’s most original voices, and most forward looking of his generation of singer/songwriters”  Q Magazine

“A profound experience”  The Boston Globe

“Songs of social commentary as much as love, with a rootsy sensibility”  Time Out

“Written with craft, performed with passion”  Financial Time

“He is one of our most intelligent writers” - Bob Harris – BBC Radio 2
