Martial Arts Weekend is an album by indie-rock band The Extra Glenns, a band made up of John Darnielle and Franklin Bruno.[4][1] The album was released in 2002.[5][6]

Critical reception

Pitchfork wrote that "after the initial novelty of hearing more than your average instrumentation beneath Darnielle's literate whine, Martial Arts Weekend comes off as a semi-pleasing but second-tier Mountain Goats effort."[3]
