Not only is one-time TeamRock Online News Editor Martin an established music journalist, having written for The Daily Record, The Sun, The Herald, The Scotsman and many others, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. For Louder, Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog on the print side, and at one time had written more articles for Louder's websites than any other writer on our books (and he's still not far off that top spot, if you're asking). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
