Aunt Martha(Tim Noyes) WSG Kira Alejandro Aunt Martha "When a band’s music hits you that suddenly, when you fall head over heels before the second verse starts, you know that you have to pay attention. It’s a special thing, finding a new band to love. You want to share them with everyone whilst simultaneously keeping them all to yourself, and that’s exactly why Aunt Martha are your new favorite band. Their brand of indie folk-rock is absolutely gorgeous, weaving sweet guitar and violin around stark lyrics delivered brilliantly by front man Tim Noyes. It is the lush promise of a band who are about to be huge.
