'''The Brothers Martin''' are an [[indie rock]] band from [[Riverside, California]] consisting of brothers [[Ronnie Martin (Joy Electric)|Ronnie Martin]] and [[Jason Martin (musician)|Jason Martin]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.purevolume.com/thebrothersmartin | title=The Brothers Martin listed as "Indie/Electronica" at PureVolume.com}}</ref> Musically, they incorporate elements of both [[Joy Electric]] and [[Starflyer 59]] (Ronnie and Jason's primary music projects, respectively): [[Synthpop|electropop]] and [[shoegazing]],<ref name="HM_07_01">{{cite journal |last=Robinson |first=Adam |date=January–February 2007 |title=Dancehouse Revisited? |journal=[[HM Magazine]] |issue=123 |pages=34–35 |issn=1066-6923 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/TheBrothersMartin.asp | title=Their self-titled debut, not very surprisingly, sounds a whole lot like what would happen if you joined Joy Electric and Starflyer 59 together | author=Josh Taylor | author-link=Blimey Cow#Josh Taylor |publisher=Jesus Freak Hideout}}</ref> while [[modern rock]] and 1980s [[New wave music|new wave]] are also a central influence.
