Joe Casey has a reputation for being a little surly and fatalistic. This tends to be the focus of articles about his band, Protomartyrtheres even a Tumblr dedicated to Descriptions of Joe Casey. (One entry: Hes like an inverse Bono.) To be fair, Protomartyr hails from the gritty rock n roll capital of Detroit, and Caseys lyrics can be as direct and raw as a fresh knife wound.
Maybe Ive caught him on a good day, but when we speak, Caseys in good spirits and seems genuinely satisfied with the bands success. Unsurprisingly, his approach to touring is still very workmanlike: When youre on the road, youre essentially a traveling salesman, he explains matter-of-factly.
