I'll admit to being almost entirely ignorant when it comes to indie music or anything that resembles it. Jason Martin, lead singer and principle songwriter for Tooth and Nail artist Starflyer 59, learns this not long into our interview. SF59 has been around for 10 years, toiling in relative obscurity while earning a reputation for being one of the hardest working bands in the industry (all of the members have day jobs and play in other bands when SF59 isn't recording or touring).

I AM THE PORTUGUESE BLUES (2004) There is a time to rock and roll. A time when all that matters is how much sweat and blood you can pour into your music and out of your amplifiers. Sweat and blood that is forcibly delivered and joyfully received. And all that force and joy meshes together and creates an electrical experience that is synonymous with fast cars, sunny days, and open windows. Read full review... |

OLD (2003) When your life is over, are people going to look at you as an example or as a warning? This question is a serious one, one that has been pondered from age to age. None of us would choose to be the warning, but history is chock full of proof that intentions don't equal results. Starflyer 59's latest release, Old, is both an example and a warning. Its musical clarity and originality give a grand example of rock music performed well. Read full review... |

CAN'T STOP EATING EP (2002) Welcome to Dr. Martin's office. In the next 18 minutes we'll do our best to cure you of your disdain for pop music. I can see you roll your eyes already. What fills your mind when I mention "pop music"? Teeny-boppers dancing in tight leathers? Screaming girls groping towards the stage? Promiscuous singers and songs? Never mind those illusions: Dr. Martin has the perfect cure for you. Read full review... |
 |
LIVE AT THE PARADOX EP (2002) An independent EP that allows fans to relive those great moments of SF59's live performance. |
 |
LEAVE HERE A STRANGER (2001) Recorded and mixed in mono sound, Leave Here a Stranger is an ode to the life of a musician. Probably the biggest departure for SF59 yet, this album is the perfect night cruising record: we know from experience. |
 |
EASY COME EASY GO (2000) This is not merely a best of release, but also a collection of b-sides and live performances. Thought you knew Starflyer 59 inside out? Think again. |
 |
PLUGGED EP (2000) The first live EP. |
 |
EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES (1999) The last album produced by the late, great Gene Eugene, this album explores moments of wonder and boredom. More importantly, it is rock music like you've never heard it before. |
 |
FELL IN LOVE AT 22 EP (1999) A delicious EP which goes from a piano ballad to an intense rock song to a drawn out instrumental. What more could you ask for? |
 |
THE FASHION FOCUS (1998) Meanderings on life and musical moments of unparalleled rock/pop mixture make up this fantastic LP. |
 |
AMERICANA (1997) This is an album for cool people. |
 |
LE VAINQUEUR EP (1995) This EP doesn't look like much, but it hides one of SF59's most precious jewels: the "Starflyer 2000 Reprise." Priceless. |
 |
GOLD (1995) Dark, thrashing guitar solos make up this sophomore effort from SF59. |
 |
SHE'S THE QUEEN EP (1994) Sounds of summer throb from this kickback to California. |
 |
SILVER (1993) The album that introduced us all to Starflyer. Songs of love, heartbreak, and more heartbreak. |
