Martyrs & Poets was recently ranked â#1 Demo of the Yearâ and one of the âHot 100 Unsigned Artists of the Yearâ By Music Connection Magazine.

The magazine raved: âour executive committee had the opportunity to explore the unsigned music marketplace to find artistry for the industry to believe in. The result was Martyrs & Poets, a contemporary rock squad from Colorado with guts, passion and a positive message. M&P songs are carried off with great melodies and a big beat, executed by a band who really seems to have their act together.â
Martyrs & Poets work ethic, perseverance, and no-nonsense approach to their craft has helped them move swiftly-from jamming and writing songs in Colorado rehearsal cellars-to performing as an opening act for artists such as 3 Doors Down, Smashmouth, The Calling, Adema, and Jewel. The bandâs ever-growing fanbase is a testament to their powerhouse live show and the compelling nature of their music.

Martyrs&Poets' music has been recently FEATURED ON SUCH TV SHOWS as ROAD RULES (MTV), CRIMINAL MINDS (CBS) AND KYLE XY (ABC), reaching nearly 400 million viewers. Martyrs&Poets has also obtained noteworthy AIRPLAY ON MANY COMMERCIAL RADIO STATIONS, and landed TWO SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENTS WITH PEPSICOLA

The bandâs songs are intensely poetic and personal; the music is nonetheless accessible and universal. The bandâs songwriter, Nathan Picard, notes, âThe best lyricists can write about an emotional experience for themselves, but relate it to everybody.

Martyrs & Poets hook-laden tunes stay true to that core emotion. And while the bandâs roots are acoustic, they have progressively flashed out their sound with complex instrumentation, pushing them toward the echelon of bands they respect such as the Foo Fighters, Bush, and the Goo Goo Dolls.

Ultimately, this is a band with enough guts and passion to drive you off a cliff-and enough great music to keep you soaring (and singing) through the free fall.
