The Martial Arts is the project of Paul Kelly (BMX Bandits / Carla J. Easton / The Primary 5 + many more). After a lengthy hiatus since the album ‘Your Sinclair’, The Martial Arts returned with ‘I Used To Be The Martial Arts’ in 2019, which has been described as a “must have EP for all lovers of the crazy magical thing called pop”.

The Martial Arts also assemble as a five-piece live ensemble containing members of TeenCanteen, Trembling Bells and Nevada Base.
