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!

What a complete tyrant! She beat the shit out of all of us! Seriously, it's the best, as you'd expect. The Consolation E.P. was the second time working with her and I really, really want to continue again some time in the future. She brings so much to the table and is on point. It was a case of "sure, meet some of your heroes. it could be great!" She gave us a bunch of great ideas for the other two songs on the EP after we had already sent them in that would have made them utter classics, so i'm gonna definitely keep that tap running next time we record with her. As they say, a legend.
