“Protomartyr's reissued debut album is a disorientating triumph”
“Although Protomartyr's debut album takes several Detroit reference points in its stride, it's more than "a Detroit record": Their characters aren't hollow archetypes, but people with ideas, struggles, and stories set to dextrously played speed punk, psych melodies, and gentle fingerpicking.”
“I never understood Protomartyr’s comparisons to the Stooges either. Maybe it was because of singer Joe Casey’s stage demeanour: more disenfranchised blue collar worker than the freaky sex alien of Iggy Pop. Or – more likely – maybe it was because I came to the band via an album that I presumed was their debut but wasn’t, and by the time Protomartyr started to breakthrough in the UK with Under Colo”
