Jeff Martin is as close to a shaman we have in modern day rock music.
'The Edges of Twilight' is genius.

my fave canadian band.. I remember seeing them in '98 on the Edgefest tour and being entranced by them, they were simply amazing.
It is too bad that people have a tendency to disregard them as no more than a clone of The Doors or Led Zeppelin, while I admit the similarities are there, they still manage to come across as there own entity, and have created some great albums.. "edges Of Twiilight" being my personal fave :D

@taxthyass Mantra I actually quite liked...Triptych was a bit hit and miss, some damn killer songs (Halcyon Days for example is one of my all time favorite TP songs ever)...but I thought they actually did a hell of a job recapturing their older sound with Interzone, it seemed like a perfect middle ground between Edges and Transmission. Seven Circles was a major disappointment after that...it has it's strong points (Luxuria for example, kicks ass) but never lived up to Interzone's promise

This whole album reminds me of doing acid and smoking pot in high school. Warm summer nights.

Most of the videos for the album: Edges Of Twilight are creepy, but in my opinion, EOT is THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME!

My favorite song by them!!! AWESOME AND POETIC!!!!

Awesomeness!! This is my fav from EOT. Such beauty in a time of ugliness the 90's they were. These guys were a spiritual rarity I"m glad i got to see them perform live.

Definitely. There are a few great songs after Tx, but Edges and Tx were their peak, I'd have to say.

They're playing, but I haven't really been paying attention as to where. It's nowhere near me, so it hasn't been on my radar.

The singer/guitarist is Jeff Martin. The Tea Party broke up a couple of years ago. Jeff is solo right now with a band called The Armada. Check out The Tea Party's discography from 1993 thru 1997. It's great stuff. They were more popular in Canada and Australia than anywhere (they're Canadian). Truly a hugely underrated band that flew under the radar for a long time.
