Protomartyr

Protomartyr hail from Detroit, and they sound an awful lot like their city: hard, edgy, resilient and proudly working class. It’s a style of punk that’s at once arty yet unpretentious, and it takes generous cues from the blue-collar post-punk that the late Mark E. Smith perfected with The Fall (singer Joe Casey’s baritone drawl often recalls Smith’s). Each of their albums has been richer, darker and more fascinating than the last, and that trend carries through last year’s Relatives of Descent, one of their hardest hitting yet. After a series of memorable sold-out shows in the city, the band returns to Milwaukee for this show at Company Brewing.
