Armchair Martian

Armchair Martian, formed in the early 1990's, is a trio based out of Fort Collins, CO. They are a punk and Alt-Country band influenced by Descendents, Husker Du, and Uncle Tupelo. They have put out numerous recordings through four record labels, the latest being Suburban Home which released the "Good Guys, Bad Band" CD, (a compilation of out of print stuff) and re-issued their "Who Wants To Play Bass?"
