Martin Wall

1) In 1977 Martin Wall borrowed and saved enough money to rent some synthesizers, book a few days in a couple low-rent studios in Hamilton and Toronto, and then pay for a modest pressing of his sole LP Metaphysical Facelift. It’s a familiar story; without distribution or a record deal, the album went almost entirely unheard outside of a few friends and locals who were gifted copies. Martin did however go on to make his living from music, with a few missed opportunities at big success with The Instructions and later Kim Mitchell’s band.
