ABOUT ME

Alternative music with a gangster grunge heart and lyrics that explore themes of despair, paranoia and the absurdity of life, Martha Zed’s musical output can best described as the ramblings of a reckless mind, consumed with curiosity for the world around them and a relentless desire to express their indefinable inner life in song.

LATEST RELEASE

Martha Zed’s latest EP is a masterclass in modern alternative grunge. Combining heavy, slacker-influenced rhythms with a raw "gangster grunge" ethos, the Calgary artist constructs a compelling sonic landscape that explores the margins of paranoia and existential dread. Featuring visceral vocals, uncompromising production, and a captivating independent spirit, this EP cements Zed's place as one of the most exciting alternative voices emerging from Western Canada today.

Press / Reviews

“First off, let’s start with the fact that Martha Zed is an absolutely bangin’ grunge rock name. It’s earnest but still has that rock and roll purr, much like “Cat Song,” Zed’s debut tune. This track is ice cream and hot fudge alt-rock, a classic slacker rhythm with cutie pie vocals. The wailing guitar at the end is the cherry on top. This song is dedicated to the greatest love story ever told – a human and their sweetie baby murder floof. It’s all love, and this love is one you’ll want to gobble up over and over. Check it out.” - Kat Meow

— Music Survival Guide

“Martha Zed has always impressed me as having genuine talent that comes from territories largely uncharted. Martha’s songwriting and guitar playing is a clear reflection of an inspired mind full of fresh ideas that verge on the seminal. With both live performances and studio releases, Martha’s creative spark has an avant-garde quality that’s also extremely personable.” - Brad Simm
