Hard rock with a modern twist. Memorable melodies with blistering guitar riffs and catchy choruses. A surprising combination of radio friendly sing along songs, hard rocking anthems, alternative modern rockers and sensitive and poignant ballads. Songs about life, love, loss and healing.
DIRECTED BY VICTOR GRONBECH. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2007.
In the early 1990's, MARTIE PETERS formed a band called PUSH and released four albums from 1996-2002 on a U.K. label called Z Records. PUSH enjoyed moderate success overseas and created a cult following with fans from all over the world.
PUSH toured with the likes of PRETTY MAIDS, RONNIE JAMES DIO and ROYAL HUNT, played shows in Sweden, Holland, Belgium and the U.K. to support all four albums. Reviews were fair, but a modern sound, raw guitars and multi-layered vocals became the trademark of the band and people began to take notice.
On a number of occasions, Martie has worked with MIKE TRAMP of WHITE LION and the two begun a friendship that has lasted through the years. Martie performed backing vocals for MIKE TRAMP'S albums "Remembering White Lion" (1999), "More To Life Than This" (2003) which was recorded at the famous Sweet Silence Studio and engineered by FLEMMING RASMUSSEN (METALLICA) and "Songs I Left Behind" for Frontiers Records (2004).
After PUSH went on hiatus in 2002, Martie wanted to grow as a singer and songwriter. He continues to define himself as a solo artist by pushing the limits of his songwriting, trying new vocal and musical styles and working with outside writers.
With this change, Martie has since moved on to form his new band, THE MARTIE PETERS GROUP. The band released their self titled debut album in 2005 through MTM Records.
In June of 2006, Martie wrote and recorded the official anthem for his favorite football (soccer) team Lyngby Boldklub. The single, performed by The Martie Peters Group, is in Danish and is called "Lyngby Boldklub's Viking Vender Hjem" (Lyngby Boldklub's Viking Returns). It has been released through the official club site (Note: the site is in Danish) and is also available in the souvenir shop. The song is played for over 2000 fans during every home game.
In January 2007, "Shallow," was selected and entered into the Rock category of the 2006 International Songwriting Competition and was considered for the finals, but sadly didn’t make the cut. However, with over 14,000 songs entered, making it that far along in the competition was a great accomplishment for the band, proving that it’s all about the music and people noticed.
In October 2007, THE MARTIE PETERS GROUP played the Melodic Rock Festival in South Bend, Indiana (www.melodicrock.com/southbend) and was one of the artists along with Jeff Scott Soto, 7th Heaven, Kevin Chalfant and Goodbye Thrill that opened for Nashville's All-Star Scrap Metal featuring Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Gunnar & Matthew Nelson (Nelson), Mark Slaughter (Slaughter) and Eric Martin (Mr. Big). Other guests: Jim Peterik (ex-Survivor, Pride Of Lions), Jimi Jamison (ex-Survivor), Jack Blades (Night Ranger, Damn Yankees) and Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple). The show drew fans and press from seven countries and 34 states, filling two downtown hotels.
The new MARTIE PETERS GROUP CD, "Road To Salvation" is out NOW in Europe through Sheer Class Music/NL Distribution and Spiritual Beast in Japan. The album is also available in digital format from Music Buy Mail and on CD in the U.S. from NEH Records,CD BABY,
