About Protomartyr:
You could describe Detroit’s Protomartyr as a post-punk outfit, but then again, the foursome could probably care less about what genre you stick to it. ‘A flaying intensity’ might be a better descriptor for their music. Upending Protomartyr’s violent, razor-edged swells is the devil-may-care stage presence of frontman Joe Casey, casually magnetic in his potent lyricism.
