About Protest The Hero
Canadian progressive metal outfit Protest The Hero are set to play Manchester Club Academy on Wednesday 26th November and London's KOKO on Tuesday 2nd December. Supporting the band on both of these dates will be The Safety Fire, The Contortionist and Palm Reader.
Protest The Hero have carved an identity for themselves that is so revolutionary within heavy music that to call them “unique” would be like calling Louis C.K. “pretty funny” or the classic “Star Trek” television series “influential sci-fi.” The band effortlessly balances high-minded artistry with wit and whimsy, substantive viewpoints with wanton tomfoolery and masterful musicianship with true song craft.
Across Protest The Hero’s cinematic fourth album, Volition, spider-fingered arpeggios, walloping bottom heavy brutality and dynamically theatrical vocals the group have made their stock-in-trade remain unrivaled. Their storied career has earned them a Revolver Golden Gods Award, two Canadian Independent Music Awards, a Juno nomination, and millions of views online leading to a #1 debut in their home Canada. But it’s the groundswell of loyal supporters who've connected with the band’s spontaneity, authenticity and depth that continues to propel them forward: when they set out to crowd fund Volition, PTH met their goal in 24 hours and had more than tripled that sum when it was over.
Protest The Hero will play London's KOKO and Manchester Academy2 as part of a wider UK tour starting this November.
