“Judge (Fast)” by Prostitute

Dearborn, Ohio band Prostitute have dropped new single “Judge (Fast).” the track is off their forthcoming Chris Koltay produced album (The Armed, Mdou Moctar), Attempted Martyr, available March 13, via Mute Records.

After November’s memorable tour of Europe and the UK, which included two London shows that sold out in a matter of hours, plus a performance at Le Guess Who?, the five-piece announced a spring 2026 tour of Europe and UK. All of the spring UK dates are now sold out and today the band announced a further London headliner for August 26th at The Dome with tickets going on sale this Friday February, 13th at 10am. Prostitute will also be at Roadburn Festival on April 18th and Supersonic Festival on April 26th. Full tour dates are listed below.

Prostitute were founded by Moe (frontman) and Andrew (drummer) who together write the group’s lyrics. Moe explains, “I had an identity crisis, growing up, 9/11 started a lot of xenophobia and Arab hatred and all that kind of shit. I hated being Arabic. I hated Arabs in general, just because people were hating me. Through much of my 20s I felt like, ‘How about I be the character you want me to be?’” Andrew took that crisis and, explains Moe, “ran with it, and made the philosophy behind it, this ‘radical terrorism’, this crazed zealot thing.”

To complete the band, Ross, Bret and Dylan soon came onboard. “It’s all a bit serendipitous,” says Andrew. Each of the members were raised in Dearborn, went to the same schools, orbited the same groups of people and crossed paths before eventually meeting each other and coming together as a band.

“When we started the album, the war in Gaza hadn’t begun yet,” says 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.”
