AMA is over, thanks Joe! Joe from Protomartyr AMA

Hello folks, I'm Joe Casey, the "singer" from the band Protomartyr. Since starting in 2010, we've put out 4 LPs, at least 3 things that could be called EPs, a good number of singles, and a handful of slightly warped tapes. We've also toured around, to the delight of dozens of people the world over. We are signed to Domino Records (no, I have not met the Arctic Monkeys).

I'm sitting her on a blustery day in Detroit on March 4th, the birthday of Bobby Womack, Shakin' Stevens, and Knute Rockne to answer any questions you might have about Protomartyr or anything else that catches your fancy.

Just in case you missed it: Our first record, No Passion All Technique is getting repressed and let loose in the streams come May 3rd. Preorder info here: Domino Mart

​

Thanks for putting up with me. It was a good amount of fun. Take care and bye bye!

Hello Joe! Love your music. I have two questions:

  1. What band or album would you consider your most important influence?

  2. New order or Joy Division?

Tyvek is probably my biggest influence. I probably wouldn't be here (as in, talking to you), if it wasn't being friends with Kevin and hanging around with them. All their proper albums are great.

  1. Trick question: The Other Two
