Attempted Martyr - Forest Green

Forest Green Vinyl. Debut record from punk / noise rock band Prostitute - released in Oct 2024. Pitchfork says: "[Songwriter] Moe and Kaster's lyrics can lacerate with image alone: hands sewn shut by needle and thread, bodies writhing in pools of spit, a human head impaled on a steeple. To call Attempted Martyr "intense" is somehow still underselling it. Yet the most impactful parts of Attempted Martyr aren't it's crushing hooks or it's relentless punk bacchanal. It's Moe's ability to turn the real-life nightmares of his Lebanese family and friends, war-torn realities reduced to the label of "foreign policy" in the U.S., into disturbingly poetic lyrics."
