Aylesbury, United Kingdom

Martin Grech (pronounced ‘Greck’) is a Maltese-English singer, songwriter and musician from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, born in 1983. He is known for his dark and powerful music, remarkable voice, and frequent subversion of style and genre. He first achieved serious critical acclaim after his haunting falsetto track Open Heart Zoo (written when he was 19 years old) was featured on a Lexus car advert on UK television in 2002. A debut album of the same name (produced by Andy Ross) quickly achieved cult status, with the expansive and eclectic record being compared, in places, to the work of Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails and Jeff Buckley. The accompanying British tour saw Grech gain a larger following and further critical support, particularly for his stunning live voice and impressive instrumental performances.

I'm sure the new album will be just fine (as long as it's not another "March Of The Lonely"), but what I'm really excited for is that promised Meatsuit EP.

Freedom, Warmth and Security is the only one I can find so far as well. :( I'll let you know if I find the rest though.

@hitchcockm00 - I'm trying to find that, too. If you manage to track it down, I'd love to know. "Freedom, Warmth And Security" from it is on iTunes UK, no sign of the other tracks, though.

I no longer need the b-sides (I spent actual, real money on them *shock*) but if anyone could share Rest In Peace with me I'd be very grateful :)

Could anyone hook me up with a few b-sides etc. that I'm missing from my collection? By a few b-side I mean all of them, and by etc. I mean the Rest in Peace EP. Thanks very much if you can help.

Well, he did ask people on MySpace if we all wanted a Meatsuit EP. The response was immense and pretty positive, so I guess it's safe to say that a Meatsuit EP is in the works. Which is also a bad thing, since he had enough Meatsuit stuff to cram into a double album. A lot of great tracks will surely be left out...

I'm dying for some new material from him. The Meatsuit stuff was great -- I just want SOMETHING to be officially released.
