Prostitute

Prostitute is a ball of fire tightly wound in a mixture of anger and anguish that packs quite a bit of explosive punk energy and artful noise. They're also a band based in Dearborn, Michigan, steeped in the city's strong Arab-American heritage both musically and lyrically. The band likes to play up stereotypes while subverting them, as vocalist Moe Kazra delivers his lines with a sense of urgency and despair, like he is stuck inside some nightmare loop. His singing is intertwined with the sonic attack by guitars and synths on the one hand, and a powerful rhythm section on the other. The band frequently reaches the heights of industrial sound or sludge metal, though, their use of the drone is not that far off from a post-rock feel underneath the roar.
