Protomartyr, a post-punk band originating from Detroit, Michigan, will perform at UT Connewitz in Leipzig, Germany on February 27, 2027. Their music is generally characterized by a bleak and minimalist sound, often featuring spoken-word vocals delivered by frontman Joe Casey over driving basslines and angular guitar work. Lyrical themes frequently explore themes of urban decay, societal alienation, and existential dread. The band formed in 2010 and has released several critically acclaimed albums including *Captured in Contradiction* (2014) and *Relatives* (2017).
