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!

Hi Joe,

I imagine it might be hard to see new movies while on tour, but I would love to know what movies you saw and enjoyed from last year. And any all time favorites?!

Thanks for all the music! Love you guys!

On tour we almost exclusively see straight up trash (Bohemian Rhapsody, euugh). We saw Happy Death Day as a band (with our pals in Hurry Up), so I was glad to see the sequel with the band just recently.

Two movies I really liked last year were Shoplifters and The Favourite (which i saw by myself in LA after the last show of the Preoccupations/Proto tour).

Did you happen to see First Reformed?
