Protomartyr

If the festival scene in Australia is struggling, then people need look no further than Brisbane's Against The Grain festival to learn how to rejuvenate the industry. Well-situated, curated, and delivered with a healthy dose of the eclectic.

Protomartyr returns to Australia for the first time since 2018 this June.

The Newcastle based 5-piece serve high energy post-punk magic with their gritty new single..

"Casey meets a fan's repeated, shouted requests for 'I Forgive You' by saying, "I forgive you, too," each time, but never playing it."

"For those that like their post-punk laced with danceability, wit and wisdom this was an impeccable example of just that."

And they're bringing Mere Women with them.

"Protomartyr are a breath of dissonant fresh air."
