Experience Protomartyr live on February 13th

Protomartyr, the Detroit-based post-punk band, are scheduled to perform at Band on the Wall in Manchester on February 13th, 2027.

Their music often explores themes of urban decay, alienation, and societal anxieties, drawing comparisons to bands like Joy Division and The Fall while maintaining a distinctly contemporary edge. Formed in 2010, Protomartyr has released several critically acclaimed albums including *The Agent Intellect* and *Reluctantism*.
