Fronted by guitar-smashing, soul singing, anthem-writing buzzbomb Evan Foster, Seattle's BOSS MARTIANS are thee
Rock & Roll jet boys to look for in 2008! Got Songs?? HELL YES!! At least, that is, according to Rolling Stone's
David Fricke who just anointed them "rising stars" referencing their addictive hooks, killer looks, and super-charged
performance last summer in NYC at Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival alongside The Strokes and
Iggy Pop (among several others)! SPIN, quick to get aboard, said "the Boss Martians' irresistible 'I Am Your Radio' should
make them stars" regarding the Foster-penned Power Pop instant-anthem. Taking it all over the top that day was the introduction
they received from the "Boss" himself -- Bruce Springsteen -- to 10,000 people!
Martian History Lesson: Evan Foster and NickC (keyboards) met as teens in Tacoma, WA and discovered a mutual obsession with
Garage, Punk, Surf, and Power Pop and they both wanted to start a band and take over the world -- enter The Boss Martians!! The
Martians uniquely combine the primal energy of Punk with the raw, unmistakable sound and swagger of Northwest Garage Rock (think
The Sonics!!), English blue-eyed soul, and the pure pop sensibility of a young, sneering Elvis Costello.
The last three years have been very successful for the band with relentless DIY touring all over the U.S. and Europe -- and 2008
is shaping up to look even better! With their new album Pressure In The Sodo - which includes a duet and co-write with the Godfather of
Punk himself - Iggy Pop - the Martians are poised to solidify their already stellar reputation as one of the best rock bands in
America.
