An album-length dose of tuneful pop/rock mixed by the dB's Chris Stamey.

"Whether it's the stomping opener 'Chemicals to Candy' or the Shoes-like pop of 'My Michelle' or the jangly 'Valentines and Honeybees', the MBC delivers the pop goods here. And they really hit their stride on 'I Won't Let You Down.' --Absolute Powerpop

"Mike Benign is an ace songwriter with an almost sardonic snarl of a voice....On the band's second disc, 'Martha,' the whole package comes together quite nicely once again. Benign's melodic, jangly, never-wilting guitar pop is rendered in taut arrangements that get a further boost from the mix by power pop legend Chris Stamey (he of The dB's)." --OnMilwaukee.com

"'Martha' provides unpretentious pleasures. But those pleasures are not without art....There's a difference between a decent plate of meat and potatoes and a really good plate of meat and potatoes, and 'Martha' shows how it's all in the seasoning." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"Programmed in the manner of a classic album, Martha isn't a disheveled grab bag of tunes, but rather a set of songs with a dynamic flow between soaring peaks and gentle slopes." --ShepherdExpress
