Martha's Vineyard "Unravelling"

Martha's Vineyard were an Australian rock band, formed in Perth in 1986 by lead singer Peggy Van Zalm. Martha's Vineyard shared a similar sound and outlook to that of fellow Perth bands like The Triffids, The Honeys and Chad's Tree. Van Zalm's strong vocals drew comparison with the likes of Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde and Joni Mitchell.

In 1989, the fledgling rooArt label signed up Martha's Vineyard alongside The Trilobites, Crash Politics, Tall Tales and True, Hipslingers and The Hummingbirds. Martha's Vineyard contributed the track "Unravelling" to the first of rooArt's Young Blood compilations. The band being one of the first of four bands selected off the compilation to go on to be signed for a three album deal.
