 It's been 4 years since Martha's Trouble put out their national self-released album, ‘Forget October’.  After taking the last two years off from national touring, the band is set to release their 8th album simply titled ‘EP’.

‘EP’ is a collection of 6 songs recorded in Asheville, NC, February 2008.  This recor-ding captures the organic sound of the band in a live studio atmosphere. On ‘EP’, Martha’s Trouble mixes current singer/songwriter songs with modern day production, as well as referencing elements of the 80’s and 70’s.  Martha’s Trouble manages to mix in aspects of Michael Penn, Aimee Mann, as well as Jonathan Brooke and The Story.  They also have a simplicity and optimism in their writing that's reminescent to The Weepies.  It really shows on the song ‘Everyday Love'.

Martha’s Trouble is a singer/songwriter band but they’re also a great Pop band. They have the musical chops of bands like Del Amitre and Fleetwood Mac.

Martha's Trouble was formed in 1998 when Rob & Jen Slocumb met in a small cafe on the outskirts of Houston, TX.  Jen had moved from Toronto, Canada with her family during the summer of 1995.  At the same time, Rob was moving from Richmond, VA back home to his family in Houston.

As fate would have it, the two met and within a years time would be married in 1996. 

In 1998, Rob & Jen recorded & self released their first album titled, ‘Tale Of A Foreigner’ and immediately hit the road touring in the southeast promoting their new release.  "I'll never forget the first night I slept in the back of a van" recalls Jen. "We were at the TA Truck Stop off I-10 in Lafayette, LA."

Rob & Jen would continue to play 180+ dates a year for the next 2 years while being based out of Houston, TX.  They played as a duo, Jen, lead vocalist/percussionist & Rob acoustic guitars. Around 1999 Jen was eager to relocate back to her hometown of Ancaster, ON.

After moving all their 'stuff' to a basement apartment in Ancaster, ON, the duo purchased a 1988 Dodge Camper Van and would call this home for the next 4 years.  From 2000 - 2002 the duo would release 3 albums, ‘The Road Ahead’, ‘Sleeping Dogs’ & ‘Christmas Lights’. They played 250+ shows all across the USA & Canada.

In 2004 they decided to relocate again back to the U.S. this time moving to Auburn, AL. During this time they also released their first national release title, ‘Forget October’.
