DESCRIPTIONS OF JOE CASEY

“Casey, blazered and buttoned-up, slurps down Budweisers with purpose, resembling a frustrated family man back from his fifth failed job interview of the week, slowly loosening up by the song and the sip.”

“Protomartyr are awesome but they look like 3 scared teens who started a band with their alcoholic uncle.”

“The lead singer, Joe Casey, is incongruous on stage in his khakis, blazer, and polo shirt, looking a bit like the guy who’s always hanging out in any office building’s copy room.”

“ Protomartyr were insanely good last night. Singer like an unholy hybrid of Mark E Smith, Shane Macgowan, Neil Hamburger & David Cameron…”

“PROTOMARTYR ARE JUST SOME UGLY GUYS FROM DETROIT AND THEY’RE COOL WITH THAT”

“Clad in a blazer with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, Joe Casey has a tendency to look a bit like a badass middle-school English teacher.”

“He’s like an inverse Bono.”

“You get the impression that these guys don’t spend their time sipping lattes and eating foie gras.”

“The one who looks like a Belgian lorry driver is lead singer Joe Casey”
