Martha & The Muffins is a Canadian band that emerged from the early punk, new wave, and art pop scene in 1977, centered around various clubs along Toronto's Queen Street West and the Ontario College of Art, where several band members were students. The band signed with Virgin Records UK and recorded their first album, Metro Music, at The Manor near Oxford, England, in 1979. Their single "Echo Beach" became a top ten hit worldwide in 1980, leading to extensive tours in Britain, Europe, and North America. Over the years, Martha & The Muffins released seven studio albums internationally, three of which were co-produced with Daniel Lanois. In 1983, lead vocalist Martha Johnson and guitarist Mark Gane restructured the band into a duo and briefly changed their name to M+M. Their dance single "Black Stations/White Stations" reached number 2 on Billboard's Dance Chart in 1984. Throughout the 1990s, Martha and Mark focused on scoring music for various television and film projects. The birth of their daughter in 1992 inspired Martha to create an album of original children's music, "Songs From The Tree House," which won the 1996 Juno Award for Best Children's Album.
