Does Protomartyr still have modern hits?
 
god Jesus mohammed fuck me they're good. Who's with me apart from house of siamese33? I guess I'll keep on chuckling.

You say your name is Laszlo.

The drummer maybe needs a new hi-hat once every 5 years. He's so restrained that every moment where he's going all out sounds like FUCKING YES FUCK YOU CUSS WORDS YES I LOVE YOU

smashingjj 04-23-2018 06:26 PM

This, with all due respect, is the best song ever. The bassist broke his string during it and I forgive him for it because I am a bass guitar playerist.

I saw them live once. They were great.
I've still only listened to one of their albums, though.

smashingjj 04-23-2018 07:22 PM

Which one?

Doesn't matter that much, they're all fantastic. Fuck yeah. America.

Disco King 04-23-2018 10:55 PM

Under the Color of Official Right.

I've also got The Agent Intellect, but it's still in it's original shrink wrap.

House of Bread 04-24-2018 10:16 PM

SO. FUCKING. GOOD.

This thread might be responsible for me finding a new band to love

I'm a few minutes into Maidenhead and this is some goooooood shit

smashingjj 04-26-2018 04:38 PM

fuck yes it is!

the last album is the best for me, but it took me more than a couple of listens

Shadaloo 04-26-2018 05:09 PM

The plan today is not to die
The cure-all is always over ice
Toasting the globe
Cursing those who live on it
Drinking it down and drinking it down
Keeping it down and keeping it down

I shouldn't empathize with these lyrics, but I do. I really like this album. Yeah, I'm picking up Under Cover next chance I get and checking out the discography. Thanks for this thread, smashingjj.

all their LP's have wonderful artwork. a.o. a stenciled booklet with art/lyrics

House of Bread 04-27-2018 07:49 AM

Under the Color is prob my fave, but their last two are absolute beasts. I really love this band.

smashingjj 04-27-2018 09:51 AM

Same here, yeah. Took me so many listens to get into them though, don't know why in hindsight.

They're one of the greats for me now. Like i'm blown away by an artist or album every few years. Last ons was probably Benji.

I talked to the bassist and the guitarist after the gig, they're releasing a 4 song ep soon.

MplsTaper 04-27-2018 10:27 AM

Love this band.

i saw them open for cloud nothings at a small bar a few years ago and they blew the main band away. ended up having a good chat with the lead singer afterwards and i should have offered them a place to crash (they asked on stage if anyone had a place they could crash).

that was the same show i realized i didn't really like cloud nothings all that much. i was really into them when they first came out but, by 2012 or so, i was over them.

what's funny about their song having the name Lazlo in it is that I think the lead singer and this unfunny local radio host in KC look very similar and the radio host's name is lazlo.

Fucken lazlo, he’s still on the air? I member when the buzz first happened it was like everything from mix 93.3 that had guitars. Do they still play guitar rock?

the song is called The Chuckler, but I immediately knew which one you meant

He tried to sell me on a credit card
I asked about the weather and whether his life was hard
You say your name is Lazlo?
I don't think that is true
Because Yar, I know a Lazlo
And he doesn't sound half as smart as you

noyen 05-06-2018 01:36 PM

omg iove this band. i saw them live and didnt really know about em. i got cum in my mouth. i swallowed it. it meant something.

smashingjj 05-06-2018 01:54 PM

i don't even listen to buzz anymore. i remember when it first went on the air, too; i remember where i was when i listened to the first broadcast, haha. didn't they play like, 24 hours without commercials or maybe they played one band's whole discography? i dunno, some gimmick. and i loved the buzz from then until about, oh, 2011 or so? then i just lost my edge and now all they play is that whiny/white soul/falsetto indie bullshit and i am an old old man

apparently him and afentra got a divorce? i have no clue but B. follows them both on IG and still listens sometimes and she said you can tell they aren't together without them having said anything.

my problem with lazlo is that he thinks his dumb fucking opinions are ground-breaking. and his voice, my GAWD, is nails on the chalkboard
