Detroit-based Protomartyr is a garage rock band whose music subtly defies the criteria of the genre and blends into post-punk. Their sound is gritty and industrial, and is reminiscent of punkier ancestors like The Clash. Their newest album, Under Color Of Official Right, will be released on April 18. The group has recently played at SXSW, and will be performing on April 12 at Death By Audio in Brooklyn, as well as on April 13 at The Cake Shop on the Lower East Side.
