Fresh of the release of Protomartyr’s excellent new album, the band’s frontman talks age, Matlock, and, uh, boner pills.

Detroit-based post-punk band Protomartyr are four years and three full-length albums into their career and have no plans to slow down anytime soon. The band's rapid release schedule and incredible evolution — with each new release improving on the last — is even more impressive when you learn that frontman Joe Casey, 38, is about a full decade older than the rest of his bandmates. Bassist Scott Davidson, guitarist Greg Ahee, and drummer Alex Leonard are 28, 29, and 29, respectively.
Once you learn that a member from Protomartyr is nine or 10 years old than the rest of the band, it's not hard to pick Casey out.

Casey bucks the stereotype of what many would think the enigmatic frontman of one indie rock's newest staples looks like. He's got short, thinning hair that's often hidden under a Detroit Tigers baseball hat and frequently dons a ruffled suit jacket over a single-colored button-up dress shirt. It's a look that music writers and concert-goers have characterized as "high school teacher" or simply "dad." These descriptions of Casey have even led to the appropriately titled Tumblr "Descriptions of Joe Casey." (A few standouts: "inverse Bono," "business casual Jeff Daniels," "my loan officer.")
