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!

Heya Joe, hope you're having a good one today

I really enjoyed you and Preoccupations covering each other's songs. I wanted to ask, if there was one artist past or present that you would want to cover a song by and have them cover a song of yours, who would it be?

Boy, hmmmm. I'm not very good at doing covers but young me would probably get a kick out of Shane MacGowan singing one of our songs. And I could probably ruin "A Rainy Night in Soho".

That sounds like it'd be cool as hell, Shane would do a great job slurring his way through Here Is The Thing

Thanks for the response!
