WHY is Munday so different lately? What is the method to his madness to create a retro sound that seems to fit in so good with this younger generation? Munday Martin will drop his 16th single of said sound on St. Patrick’s Day, produced by Dove Award winner John Mark Painter (Fleming and John, The Grits, DC Talk, Randy Stonehill, Steve Taylor)

Munday asked the Lord a question in 2021. It was 20 years after full time missions to 34 countries and revival across America and the globe, ultimately leading to a tent revival that lasted 30 days near his home town… “How can I win more people to Jesus on a mass scale? How can I influence a new generation seeking for good in this world?” That is when the Lord directed him to go find the one and leave the 99 inside the four walls of churches and enter the music industry.

Recently a mother of a small child in Iceland who can barely spell made his Mom a picture of a cross she sent me and at the top of the cross were the words SUPER JESUS. This child listens to my songs every day and the family is now some of my most loyal and biggest fans.

Munday knew that if he can reach a small child across the globe through a song, then the potential is a double edged sword. Reach the child, reach the family.

From churches playing his songs, and secular radio stations, melodies are wooing hearts to a message of freedom from addictions, serenading broken hearted fatherless lambs, helping them find meaning in life where suicide plagues a love sick world.

Press Rewind – Munday Martin

In his new song “Press Rewind” he asks the question, “Why try to go back now to what’s comfortable, ministry and life as I knew it before, how will my fruit continue to grow and blossom like this?” Believe me it’s been tempting to try to go back to the old wineskin and even temptations in general. The whole body of Christ is tested even after salvation.

Yet how will the one fallen on the Jericho road find mending when all ignore him who pass by?We are needed at this hour.

Find out this and more and mark your calendars on St. Patrick’s Day as we don’t “Press Rewind,” but we gaze into the future of humanity and find reasons to seek their hearts and anchor their souls in Jesus. It’s going to take a revival to reach the church, but it’s going to take a renaissance to reach a culture!

Munday Martin has released “Fly” his fifth single for a series of singles which will appear on his 6 song EP release October 21 of this month!”

Munday Martin was recently promoted as the best up and coming artist in Nashville Tennessee by Nashville‘s biggest rock station recently, and without question is certainly making waves in the Christian and secular music industry with his retro rock vibe reminiscent of the 80s and 90s.

“Fly is a song I wrote about breaking and defying statistical explanations that the enemy puts on us. One thing that I have learned following Christ is even the sky is not the limit. We can truly move mountains with our faith. He wants us to dream far bigger than we allow ourselves to. I believe when it comes to following Christ’s words there is no try, there is only do. I know it sounds a little bit like Yoda! And no it’s not a sci-fi song like “The Fix Is In.” Fly is my beloved tribute to ska-punk. People who hear it will immediately be reminded of the likes of the “Supertones” and “Madness.”

What many people probably don’t know about me is I got saved after being touched by the Holy Spirit at a “Supertones” moshPit at the Cornerstone music festival in 1996. God used Christian ska punk to help open my eyes that he loved me in my punk days as an addict. Nobody who has been to Cornerstone would ever forget that experience put on by the Jesus People in Illinois. Munday would like to dedicate this song to the “Supertones” as a way to say thank you for laying your life down for the gospel and reaching me with music for Christ.

Producer John Mark Painter (Fleming and John, DC Talk, Grits, Steve Taylor and the Perfect Foil) on this song has outdone himself. I played and recorded the song on acoustic guitar and at first it sounded like a Buddy Holly song, but it became Buddy Holly meets Madness. I have already received feedback from fans that it’s one of my best releases! The melody will stick in your head forever!

Munday Martin has released “Bells Of Heaven” today (September 2), his fourth song in a series of singles off his second album which will drop in December 2022.

Munday Martin was promoted as the best up and coming artist in Nashville Tennessee by Nashville‘s biggest rock station recently, and without question is certainly making waves in the Christian and secular music industry with his retro rock vibe reminiscent of the 80s and 90s.

‘Bells Of Heaven’ is a song I wrote as a dialogue from a troubadour traveling and greeting strangers with the word of king Jesus to the youth of today as well as to leaders of nations. -Munday

Martin cleverly used pros and poetry to get his point across. The surf rock nods take you back to the loving sounds of The Beach Boys without being too redundant, and yet has a modern indie rock sound people will love. There’s a certain mysterious darkness the song alludes to “hidden treasures of darkness” (Isaiah 45:3) with a glorious light that is about to break out. This light is the second coming of Christ. It’s an admonition to all that hear it to be ready for Jesus coming as a thief in the night. The lyrics will remind you of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen but with respect is ALL Munday Martin.

Producer John Mark Painter (DC Talk, The Grits, Steve Taylor, Fleming and John) who works on all of Munday Martin’s solo career songs did a phenomenal job on this one. It is definitely one of Munday Martin‘s favorites he has worked on so far.

Munday Martin has released “Super Jesus,” his third single from his sophomore album which will drop in December 2022. “Super Jesus” is available now to download/stream.

“Super Jesus” is a song I wrote one day on electric guitar singing in front of my two kids and my wife. The kids loved it and the melody was catchy enough to make it a quirky song that both adults and kids will love. I can see the kingdom of darkness trying to infiltrate the youth today and I wanted to offer a song that can point them to the light of Jesus Christ. An animation music video is in the works for it right now. – Munday

Producer John Mark Painter (DC Talk, The Grits, Steve Taylor, Fleming and John) added synthesizer ear candy that kids will love to make it a fun techno experience dipping our inspirations into “Devo” and “Men Without Hats.” Post punk as it gets, the song, under two minutes long in the tradition of punk, gets the point across quickly.

Every town is in despair and the only one that can save the town and give you power to be free is Super Jesus. Prepare to smile! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s SUPER JESUS! Corny? Perhaps. But not to a child or one with a childlike heart. This song is Munday’s kiss blown to the cheeks of Jesus with no shame saying “Thank you my Master for saving me in my youth at age 6 in Stamford Ct.”

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Munday Martin releases new music this week. His new song titled “Routine” is available now.

“Routine is a song I wrote about our current overuse of screens on phones, tablets, and TVs. Are we truly living life or are we falling asleep? Jesus wants to awaken his bride I believe by starting new hobbies such as a fasted lifestyle from overuse of entertainment, and replacing it with prayer and the word and outreach to the lost and broken. Even my own family struggles with finding that balance and I believe our entire generation is. Will we learn to love or will we only desire to be entertained?

I have been the culprit to blame and I hope my honesty shows in the lyrics that I am questioning myself am I truly living with overuse of screen time or have I fallen asleep?

It’s definitely one of the most interesting ones I’ve put out to date. And what’s even more incredible is I heard the chorus melody in a dream years ago and finally wrote the song. This song is filled with funk, retro rock, and yes Munday raps on it!” -Martin

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Munday Martin releases new music this week. His new song titled “Until He Sings” is available now to download/stream.

“I initially wrote ‘Until He Sings’ to remind people Jesus Is Coming and we have work to do. There are still billions of people lost without Christ. This song is an awakening song to encourage believers to share their faith with others,” Martin shares about the new track.

The cutting-edge rock artist from Nashville, Tennessee, Munday Martin, is gearing up to release his much-anticipated 10 song, self-titled album.

The upcoming album, releasing this Friday, was set in motion to bring captivating melodies to music fans. The culmination of Martin’s debut album has been in the works for many years as Martin grew up in a musical family and started singing for talent agencies in New York and Chicago at a young age and was selected for commercials like Hungry Hungry Hippos, Wheaties and Nintendo. This release allows Martin to share his powerful story of forgiveness with the world via his passion for music.

Martin grew up in a dysfunctional home and his mother was an alcoholic. Throughout his childhood, Martin experienced abuse. Later in life, patterns of addiction became apparent in his own life as well.

“What the enemy meant for bad: God intended for good,” Martin said. “My mother and I were able to find the power of forgiveness. She became my very best friend as she overcame her addictions and we became very close the last few years of her life before she died in 2015.”

When Martin’s mother died, he took it as a sign to begin healing from his past – overcoming prescription drug and alcohol addiction in 2019. However, this process was not easy. Martin still recalled dealing with suicidal thoughts, clinical depression, nearly being aborted in the womb, drug overdoses growing up and ultimately found Jesus was the answer as is best portrayed in his new song “Barely Survived.” Music was part of his inner healing that brought balm to the old wounds as he found wholeness again in Christ.

Martin’s artistic outlet first led him to paint, then to write and resulted in recording over 30 songs with his producer John Mark Painter, known for producing hit singles like “Ooh Ah” by Grits. Martin has dedicated all 10 songs on the new album, including hits like “Silver Lining” and “The Fix Is In,” to the Lord for how He’s been faithful and healed Martin of childhood trauma.

While songs from the album like “Reactor” relate to fans when they feel alone and encourage coping mechanisms so that fans will live longer and happier lives, songs like “Snap Out Of It” serve as a constant reminder to all listeners to share the gospel when they can’t get the song out of their heads.

Listeners can stream/download the album on their favorite music platform this Friday.

Nashville’s up-and-coming artist, Munday Martin, today released “Snap Out Of It,” the artist’s eighth single in eight months.

The new, rock single was inspired during Martin’s 2020 commitment to share the gospel of Jesus Christ for 365 straight days in his hometown just outside of Nashville.

“I carried a cross, a symbol of how much the Father loved the world in giving His Son, down the streets of my city with a sense of urgency,” Martin said. “Jesus is coming back soon and no one is ready.”

Martin, with the help of his label, Munfunco Music, and producer John Mark Painter, hopes to inspire a sort of renaissance that awakens everyday believers to share their faith through arts, entertainment and even entrepreneurial endeavors. “Snap Out Of It” suggests listeners to do just that and show the world Jesus is still the only way to eternal life.

Do it now
Do it now
They need the answer
Say it now
Say it now
Take the big chance or
Be it now
Be it now
They need to see that
He is still way.

Listeners who have already heard the single boast of its unique take on Christian music and creative post-punk-inspired sounds. The unforgettable melodies serve as a constant reminder to all listeners to share the gospel when they can’t get the song out of their heads!

In only two minutes, Martin clearly and memorably conveys his point through the lyrics and sounds of “Snap Out Of It.” Listeners can find it on Spotify now!

The new single will also be featured on Martin’s self-titled debut album releasing worldwide on April 1st. The album will feature the hit song “Silver Lining”, which has been played every week by Nashville‘s biggest rock station 102.9 The Buzz.

On-the-rise rocker Munday Martin just released “Reactor,” his second single since ringing in the new year – available to stream/download worldwide.

Pulling inspiration from some of INXS’s 80s/90s greatest hits, Martin’s song “Reactor” is the seventh single he has released in the last seven months. The driven artist plans to continue releasing a single per month. Aiming to quench listeners’ growing thirst for creativity and original sounds in the rock space, “Reactor” is unpredictable and a breath of fresh air.

“There’s a temptation to try to sound like everyone else when in reality, we need to sound like what God put inside of us,” Martin said.

“Reactor” was written to address people who normally overreact to what life throws at them. Martin realized after writing the single that the lyrics were really a reminder to himself.

You won’t find a way out of here
But you’ll find that loving you need
To cope with the punches that come
You’ll be riding on top of the Son
You’ll be riding on top of the Sun

“I feel like everyday stress triggers and growing up in a home with an alcoholic are the things that drove me to addiction in the past,” said Martin. “If every person can learn how to be more proactive and less reactive in response to the struggles life deals us, we can overcome the temptation to quit.”

This song is uniquely important due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on mental and physical health as well as negative economic outcomes throughout society.

The hope of Martin, Producer John Mark Painter and the Munfunco Music team is for the song to relate to fans when they feel alone and to encourage coping mechanisms so that fans will live longer and happier lives.

Up-and-coming alternative rocker Munday Martin released his new rock/Christian crossover single, “Take Your Best Shot,” today – available to stream/download worldwide.

This song is Martin’s sixth single release since his debut in June of 2021. Martin’s own riveting story of overcoming severe drug addiction and suicide shines in this song.

“If you are consumed with love, then when an arrow is shot at your life it can’t hit you because you’ve already been burned up into a beautiful heap of ashes,” Martin said. “Love is the key that sets the captives free and is the antidote against cutting, self-mutilation, drug addiction, suicide and so forth.”

The song is alive from both lyrical and musical standpoints. John Mark Painter, known for producing hit singles like “What If I Stumble” (DC Talk) and “Ooh Ah” (Grits), skillfully arranged and added a variety of effects to the music to bring to life the 80s retro sound Martin’s listeners grew up with. With the combined musical genius of Martin, Painter, and drummer Bobby Huff, the final product is a beautiful proclamation of truth with an unforgettable twist:Take your best shotAnd your arrows will fallYou’ll find that I’m already goneTake your best shotBut haven’t you readYou can’t kill someone dead

The lyrics and upbeat rhythm have already spoken to a wide range of listeners. Some say it is their favorite song of Martin’s thus far.

“The world often offers us fame, fortune, and success at the cost of our souls,” Martin said. “This song is defiance of the darkness. It tells the enemies of our souls working behind the scenes, ‘Take your best shot, but you will find that you’re hitting the air.’”
