Things are heating up fast for Prostitute. The Dearborn, Michigan five-piece have just dropped a blistering new visualiser for Judge (Fast), one of the most punishing cuts from their upcoming debut album ‘Attempted Martyr’ — and it hits exactly as hard as you’d hope.
The track is a full-body rush: relentless, propulsive, and seething with intent. It’s another snapshot of a band operating at maximum intensity, turning chaos, noise, and lived experience into something confrontational and cathartic.
New album incoming
‘Attempted Martyr’ lands 13th March 2026 on Mute, arriving on CD and two vinyl editions — including a special limited Arabic edition on Lebanese sunburst vinyl (exclusive to Dinked), alongside a red vinyl pressing. Produced by Chris Koltay (The Armed, Mdou Moctar), the record has already earned heavyweight praise across the board. Pre-order here.
Uncut called it “a thrillingly relentless experi-punk debut,” while Pitchfork highlighted Moe’s ability to transform the real-life trauma of his Lebanese family and community into “disturbingly poetic lyrics.” The Quietus, CLASH, and Anthony Fantano have all joined the chorus, cementing Attempted Martyr as one of the most vital and visceral debuts in recent memory.
From Dearborn to everywhere
Following a sold-out run of UK and European shows last year — including two London dates that disappeared in hours — Prostitute announced a Spring 2026 tour that’s now entirely sold out across the UK. Demand hasn’t slowed, though: the band have just confirmed a new London headliner on 26th August at The Dome, giving fans another chance to experience their ferocious live assault.
The group will also appear at Roadburn Festival (18 April) and Supersonic Festival (26 April), bringing their volatile, genre-scrambling sound to some of Europe’s most adventurous stages.
Art as confrontation
Loosely conceived as a concept album, ‘Attempted Martyr’ channels post-hardcore, noise-rock, metal-tinged punk, and sampler-driven dissonance into a fever dream of rage, anxiety, dark humour, and bruised hope. Founded by Moe and drummer Andrew — both raised in Dearborn, home to the largest Muslim population in the U.S. — the album wrestles with identity, alienation, and the inherited weight of geopolitics.
“This isn’t some manifesto,” the band stress. “It’s art. It’s an outlet. It’s a return of fire.”
Judging by the reaction so far, people are listening — and feeling every second of it.
Watch the Judge (Fast) visualiser now.
‘Attempted Martyr’ is out 13 March 2026 via Mute.
