In "I Forgive You" singer Joe Casey layers his bottomless though capturing lyrics over hammering post punk riffs. Check out Casey's entertaining and hopefully enlightening explanation of the lyrics on
Noisey.
This October marks the release of PROTOMARTYR’s third and finest work to date, “The Agent Intellect”. Named after an ancient philosophical questioning of how the mind operates in relation to the self, it’s an elegant and often devastating display of all that makes PROTOMARTYR—composed of singer Joe Casey, guitarist Greg Ahee, drummer Alex Leonard, and bassist Scott Davidson—so vital and singularly visceral an outfit.
That's why we can't wait to see PROTOMARTYR live! Luckily the band just announced an extensive European tour:
