The Brothers Martin is the self-titled debut of The Brothers Martin, a band consistent of brothers Ronnie and Jason Martin, founders of Joy Electric and Starflyer 59, respectively. It is the brothers' first collaborative effort since 1991's Dance House Children and somewhat of an amalgamation of both artists' musical influences.^[3]

All of the music was entirely written, produced and performed by Ronnie and Jason with the exception of live drums played by Alex Albert from the band Project 86.^[3]

On May 1, 2007, the The Brothers Martin (180 gram LP) was released, a limited pressing of 500 copies on 180 gram vinyl put out by ClerestoryAV and Tooth & Nail Records.
