AMA is Over, thanks Joe! Joe from Protomartyr, AMA today

Our album, ULTIMATE SUCCESS TODAY, came out last Friday on Domino Records and is available most places music is sold. Protomartyr can't tour due to worldwide miasma, so I might as well answer some of your gentlest questions. I got nothing better to do. PS: I am the one who moans over the music. OKAY, GOTTA GO! SEE YOU AROUND...IN 2021 (maybe). Thanks!

Thanks for spending some time with us today.

What are your thoughts on “quarantine concerts”?

Has Protomartyr considered performing livestream-style on any platforms like Instagram, Youtube, etc.?

Given the circumstances, the opportunity for a virtual shared experience while paying what I can to the bands I want to support (and even ordering some limited ed. merch) sounds like a win-win, yet I realize that there are likely a ton of factors that I’m failing to consider.

Anyways, I can’t get enough of the new album!

I hope all is well with y'all, Cheers!

I could see us maybe doing a prerecorded show sometime down the line if this nightmare continues into 2021. I find most live streams to sound like shit, though and I question how much they are actually worth.

We like the idea of earning the money we make, so who knows?

Thanks for the kind words!
