Protomartyr 將會衝破你的耳膜，直擊心底。 相信我，每次你在聽到他們的音樂時都會這樣滿足。
Protomartyr will crush your ears and crush your heart, and it』ll feel worth it every single time.
從某些方面上來說，Protomartyr 樂隊絕對是最能代表「Split Works」精神的樂隊——他們有著無比堅定的 DIY 精神；在法茲轟鳴的吉他聲中，他們的樂句旋律引人哼唱，他們的歌詞帶有強烈社會意識，而他們做音樂的獨立態度與執著方式始終是他們的自豪之處。
In some ways, they’re the ultimate 『Split Works』 band: fiercely DIY, fuzzy hooks and buzzy guitars, lyrics that are socially conscious, and an approach to music that is proudly independent and stubbornly underground.
來自底特律的朋克小子們正上演著一場驚豔的音樂好戲。在他們過往四張專輯中，每一張都建立在前一張的基礎上而更上一層樓；2017 年的專輯《Relatives in Descent》更是收穫了無數好評，並取得了不錯的商業成績。
他們的音樂有著罕見的特質：詩意與殘酷在這裡有機並存；吉他帶來的騷亂與古怪的黑色幽默混合在一起，令人迷惑不已。他們的音樂中有風趣與智慧，也有苦澀和喧囂。
These Detroit Punk Boys, though, are also on an amazing musical roll. Every single one of their four albums has built on the last, with 2017’s Relatives in Descent a huge critical (and modest commercial) success.
Their music is a rare thing: poetic, yet brutal. A beguiling mix of guitar turmoil and weirdo noir humour. There’s wit, wisdom, bitterness, and noise.
北京 6 月 15 號 Protomartyr 與 Deadly Cradle Death 樂隊（DCD負責苦澀和喧囂）
上海 6 月 16 號 Protomartyr 與 RUBUR 樂隊（R主要負責風趣和智慧）
這五首歌，用來幫你為周末的演出提前找找感覺：
Beijing on Friday the 15th with Deadly Cradle Death (mostly bitterness and noise), and Shanghai on Saturday the 16th with RUBUR (mostly wit and wisdom).
Here’s five songs to get you up to speed:
1
一首情緒越燒越烈的震撼單曲。在惴惴不安的開頭後，憤怒的吉他和焦躁的鼓點慢慢堆積、堆積、堆積……直到形成一個頗具煽動性、讓人不禁跳舞的律動。
這是一首給你高度緊張，又讓你得以釋放的好歌。
My children / They are the future / Good luck with the mess I left
A slow-burn crusher of a single. There’s an ominous opening, a cauldron of angry guitars and restless drums that builds, builds, builds and….settles into an actual, dance-worthy groove.
It’s electric – a song of masterful tension and release.
2
因為在Netflix電視劇《13 Reasons Why》中極具衝擊力的一幕中被使用而一炮走紅。
As made famous by the smash-hit Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why, where it soundtracks a particularly hard-hitting scene.
3
Memorably described by Rolling Stone as 「Could be the Smiths, except with an even more miserable singer.」
4
Peak post-punk. A smart and unsettling song with a suitably icy guitar line about greed and overreach.
5
Wheel of Fortune (feat. Kelley Deal)
這首出自新 EP 的歌讓我們得以搶先了解 Protomartyr 在未來還會變出哪些戲法——尖銳的嘯叫刺入昏暗的瘋狂節奏縫隙間；狂放不羈的吼叫歌聲與急起急停的暴虐吉他互不相讓。簡直了！
「我決定/誰生誰死」
The Breeders 樂隊吉他手 Kelley Deal 在這首歌中的嗓音極具震懾力；這是無敵組合為我們奉獻的蓋世佳作。
Our first taster of what future Protomartyr (try saying that quickly) will conjure. Blistering feedback crashing into a murky, thrashing rhythm section, with howled, untamed vocals fighting for space against swirling, stop-start guitars. It’s quite a ride.
I decide / who lives and who dies
Featuring the menacing voice of Kelley Deal of The Breeders. A formidable combination for a formidable song.
