Musikken
I martre spiller vi dansksproget rock, med klare inspirationskilder i den britiske scene fra 70..erne og frem til idag.
Vi forsøger at skrive og spille nogle iørefaldende numre, hvor budskaber i teksterne og "den gode melodi" er et meget vigtigt element for os. Samtidig med vi forsøger at skabe en balance mellem det grumme og det smukke i livet. Det værre sig i tekst som musikalsk udtryk.
Hvis vi skal prøve at trække nogle paralleler til hvor omkring lydbilledet befinder sig, er en blanding the smiths, bowie (70..erne), jens unmark, c.v. jørgensen (80érne) og kent, nok det tætteste vi kommer.
Teksterne
Vi forsøger i teksterne skildre os mennesker og samfundet, på en "rå og uforsødet" måde, men forsøger samtidig altid at have en vis portion selvironi indblandet.
Det være sig ting lige fra skildring af livet på gaden i kbh, om sandy der lever et forhutlet liv med prostitution og narko, til krig og verdens ledere.
english - slightly different info
martre invites listeners into a universe of lyrics, where the message gets smashed into your face in a tender, poetic and respectful way, and, when necessary (which is often), the lyrics contain just the right touch of self-irony, arrogance, sarcasm - with a delicate touch of death lurking in among the constellations.
The lyrics are all Danish, wrapped in addictive tunes, ranging from post-punk to glam rock, over folk to pop-rock, performed by a total classic rockband configuration - 1 vocal, 2 guitars, 1 bass and a drummer.
martre makes sure that it will be a great evening by delivering a big performance of well-played, well-written music.
