Martin spent eight years fronting Brighton skacore band The Junk before striking out on his own, releasing an EP in 2014.

In March, Martin released his first full-length solo album We Take Them At Dawn, which he is now touring around the world.

He kicks off his Aussie tour in Adelaide on Wednesday, followed by a show on Thursday night at The Loft with Perth folk-punk troubadour Benny Mayhem (whose single Song For Absent Friends is out soon) and Portland’s own Tim Hampshire (who recently released his debut album The Fast Times Will Be My Fuel through Anchorhead Records).

Martin will play 14 shows across Australia over the next four weeks before undertaking a four-month tour of Europe that takes in Slovenia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the UK.
