Prostitute, the noise-rock band from Dearborn, Michigan, have signed to Mute and are reissuing their debut album, Attempted Martyr, on vinyl and CD. Plus, they’re heading out on a European tour next year. Find their complete list of tour dates, as well as a new music video for their song “Mr. Dada,” below.
This reissue is technically the first worldwide release of Attempted Martyr, which Prostitute self-released in 2024. Mute is selling the album on CD and two vinyl editions: a red vinyl option, and a web–exclusive white vinyl.
“When we started the album, the war in Gaza hadn’t begun yet,” said Prostitute’s drummer Andrew. “But the world was still pretty fucked up. It already felt like the car was going off the cliff, with no-one at the wheel. There’s an angst to the album. I’m not religious, but I’ve always been drawn to art and stories about religion—this yearning for transcendence, for an answer, for forgiveness. The album is about someone trying to transcend in some way. This character is reprehensible. But we’re not trying to tell anyone what to think. This isn’t some manifesto – this is art, it’s an outlet for things we were feeling.”
Currently, Prostitute are still on the road opening for the Armed. The five-piece will then head to Europe next spring for its own headlining run. Those dates begin on April 17, in Belgium, with Prostitute making their way to the Netherlands, Germany, France, and England. That 2026 tour of Europe is set to end on May 2, in Scotland.
