Starflyer 59, the brainchild of California native Jason Martin, has been an enduring and evolving fixture in the alternative music scene since the early 1990s. Martin, whose brother, Ronnie Martin, is another recognized name in the music industry as part of the electronic pop act Joy Electric, has consistently been the primary songwriter and distinctive voice behind Starflyer 59's textured and often melancholy sound. The band's music has traversed various styles over the years, from the noisy and shoegaze-driven melodies of their early albums to the more refined, classic rock and new wave-infused aesthetic that marked their later works.

Over the course of their prolific career, Starflyer 59 has cultivated a dedicated fan base with its ever-shifting sonic palette while staying rooted in Martin's introspective lyricism and signature guitar work. The group's discography showcases a willingness to experiment while maintaining a recognizable core, featuring albums that range from the fuzz-laden feedback of their debut "Silver" to the more polished and reflective tones of albums like "Leave Here a Stranger" and "Young in My Head." Known for a reticent public persona and steady output of music, Starflyer 59 remains a beloved enigma in the independent music world, continuing to intrigue and inspire with each new release.
