Don Martin Three


Don Martin Three were a three-piece emo/hardcore band from St. Augustine, Florida that were active from 1993 to 1996. Their output was typically small for a band of their nature ( with only one LP, a split, and an EP), but they made some crushing music in their time. They're an incredibly underrated "emocore" (for lack of a better term) band, playing with a similar spoken-word and arpeggiated guitar mix that made legends of Moss Icon, Indian Summer and Policy Of 3. Songs would build and fall, with the lows being serenely melodic and the highs being octave chord-bashing screamfests. I cannot recommend them enough for fans of the aforementioned bands, since they deserve way more attention than they get. Plus, that split is three tracks of pure perfection so I'd suggest starting there, but it's absolutely all solid. Enjoy.

    1. Jason Teisinger of Belladonna records made a comment on a random blog a long time ago that dispelled that myth. A commenter said there was a plan to re-release the LP with different lyrics because the lyrics on the LP were made as a joke/satirizing the emo genre at the time. Jason's exact words were "There was no intent to rerelease the LP. It is what it is."
