Text and Photos by K. Cecchini I just saw Protomartyr on Friday at Underground Arts, which is (I say) Philly version of Brooklyn’s Rough Trade where we saw them in October. I wrote a piece after that show and never posted it, so I will do it now. Protomartyr vocalist Joe Casey took to the stageContinue reading “In the Key of Protomartyr”

Artist Spotlight: Surfin’ Mutants Pizza Party
Interview written and conducted by @KralTunes While the notion of forming a band, cranking out some songs, touring the world, and making millions has invaded the dreams of literally every teenager in existence, seeing those dreams come to fruition can be quite the oddity (you could say it about as rare as cool songs about mythological Krakens andContinue reading “Artist Spotlight: Surfin’ Mutants Pizza Party”
Artist Spotlight: The Gotobeds

Sleaford Mods: Nevermind the Bullocks
Text by @KralTunes Every now and then, an artist(s) will emerge that will do the seemingly impossible…shock me. I could hear any singer sing about anything and I’ll hardly bat an eyelash. It takes real hutzpah to make me wince (I’ve always wanted to use that word in a meaningful way). And while I may haveContinue reading “Sleaford Mods: Nevermind the Bullocks”
The Layman’s Review: Protomartyr–Under Color of Official Right
Text by: Joe K./Live photo by: Kimberly Cecchini “He’s not what I expected at all,” that’s what my boss over at Tonight at Dawn said to me when Protomartyr first hit the stage during the Seaport Music Festival in New York City. Singer Joe Casey, with his ‘business-casual’ attire, standing in between a guitarist (GregContinue reading “The Layman’s Review: Protomartyr–Under Color of Official Right”
