Protest The Hero Homecoming Full Of Screams And Projectiles

By Ryan Kelpin (CHARTattack) April 28, 2008 3:00 pm
Chants of "Protest! Protest!" echoed through the walls of the Sound Academy from the second the doors opened for Protest The Hero's show. I don't know if people were more impatient or impressed that Protest were headliners for the show with Chiodos on Friday night. Rumours had circulated on the internet that Protest were going to be...

Protest The Hero — Fortress

in
By Jill Langlois (CHARTattack) January 29, 2008 5:41 pm
Protest The Hero's Fortress, the follow-up to 2005's well-received Kezia, lives up to its name. Strong and well-constructed from beginning to end, the record is well-thought-out and complex without sounding contrived. Described by the Whitby, Ont. quintet as having a fictional element without being as much of a concept album as the last, Fortress...

The Opera House was filled with energy both onstage and off last Friday when metalcore quintet The Bled rolled through town with hometown boys Protest The Hero. Though the bill featured five bands, lag between set changes was kept to a minimum and soundchecks were brisk to keep the fire burning well into the night. The show started off with...

Protest The Hero — Kezia

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) October 4, 2005 4:09 pm
Looking to expand from their hardcore metal roots, Toronto-based pseudo-punks Protest The Hero have put forth quite the impressive sophomore disc. Making this album standout is a soaring falsetto that would make Bruce Dickinson stand up and take note, combined with primal, guttural attacks that will cause people to mistake this for screamo (they'...

Video Of The Day: Protest The Hero's "C'est La Vie"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) April 11, 2011 4:45 pm
Protest The Hero's clip for Scurrilous' "C'est La Vie" seems like it could be the video for a track like Thursday's "For The Workforce, Drowning" at first. It begins with a suit-clad man tearing off his tie, seemingly railing against his job and the powers that be for making him feel helpless and stuck. But then things take a little bit of a...

All you indie rock hipster fucks in bands sporting gigantic, oversized glasses, jeggings and the latest digs from your local American Apparel need to give it up. You're trying so hard to coolify being total geeks, but you'll never match Protest The Hero, the world's nerdiest band. While listening to Scurrilous, I had a particular image in my head...

Last time I saw Protest The Hero at the Sound Academy, the place was packed wall to wall with screaming kids. On Friday, the crowd was considerably older and full of gaping holes. So either Protest are losing their cool, or, more likely, their fans didn't know why a new metal band who should be writing a new album were playing with bands that...

Stand up comedy and rock 'n' roll are a lot alike. George Carlin was raging against the machine long before Zack De La Rocha and Tom Morello weren't doing what you told them. Mitch Hedberg rocked the mic with an original delivery that was stripped down and raw, much like a punk rock band out of Queens, N.Y. Just as stand up comedians can...

In Protest The Hero's video for Fortress' "Limb From Limb," vocalist Rody Walker (dressed as a Navy captain) berates the rest of the band (dressed as The Village People) before he and his crew challenge them to a dance-off. This is pretty amazing. Fortress is out now.
