Along with vocalist Alex Lusty (Acarine/Who Shot Who) He now brings us HAPPY MARTYR.

Described as 'urban folk' or an MC fronting early Tyrannosaurus Rex, Happy Martyr's music is a raw sounding, stripped down acoustic rap crossover. Tracks for the debut album were recorded between London and Boz's Serra Vista studio in Portugal, which was also the backdrop for the video to accompany debut single 'Painkillers'' which was released via download on the 4th April 2011.
The next Happy Martyr single was "Sleep Tight" and was released on July 4th, also on download. The videos can be viewed on the band's website HappyMartyr.com . Gigs in Birmingham, Manchester, London and Dublin followed in the autumn and the debut album is scheduled to be released in January 2012 on Floating World Records.
