Hailed as one of the US’s most exciting and provocative new bands, Prostitute’s bracing debut Attempted Martyr has been quite the talking point! Emerging out of Dearborn, Michigan, this five-piece deal in pure chaos and catharsis – fiery live shows, razor-sharp intensity, and a sound that’s as incendiary as it is brutally tight. Their name reflects their fixation on identity, desperation, and survival under late capitalism. Attempted Martyr was written in the midst of global and personal turmoil, capturing the zeitgeist of a world unraveling. A loose concept record, it chronicles the rise and fall of a doomed zealot whose pursuit of holy vengeance spirals into a psychotic orgy of violence, greed, and lust. It’s dense, turbulent, and charged with blaring Middle Eastern, African and East Asian influences – all scorched into shape by producer Chris Koltay (The Armed, Mdou Moctar). With mounting online buzz, critical acclaim and a run of sold-out bootleg editions, Prostitute’s debut continues to gain momentum. “Really heavy, intense, intriguing, thrilling, and thematically unique album, and aesthetically unique, too” – Anthony Fantano “Calling the Dearborn noise rockers’ debut “intense” is somehow still underselling it.”- Pitchfork “…a terroristic noise rock opera, complete with groovy riffs, pummeling drums, and a frontman more crazed than anyone in their orbit” – Stereogum
