Protest The Hero finalize album release plans

Contributed by mccool. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at 11:49 AM (EDT)

Underground Operations has set a August 30th release date for Kezia, the new full length from Protest the Hero.

In support of the album, the label has launched a "cinematic trailer" which includes album track "Blindfolds Aside" and you can find that here. The label has also promised that another track, titled "Nautical" will soon appear on their website.

The band is currently on the road with No Warning and The Black Maria and will soon join Death By Stereo on their Canadian dates.

Not according to preteen suburban Ontario girls!

where do i buy tickets for the Death By Stereo tour. I can't fucking find info anywhere.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

you can probably get them through ticketmaster, no?

Someone (August 9, 2005)

i already checked the website and nothing. I figured DBS were big enough to be beyond "$10 at the door" or w/e, but who knows.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

Ah crap, a rock opera? Bah!

It's anything but a rock opera you faggot.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

It's worse than a gangbang to the ear, avoid these clowns at all cost.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

justify that remark.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

Step 1: Be from the central or east 905 region. You have already failed, so no need to continue.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

I'm from ajax.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

My condolances. Have fun shagging behemoths on LSD in your parent's basement.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

Ok ok, Concept album. Happy? I have nothing against PTH. I've seen them live and will buy this for sure. But this just seems to be the trend these days.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

from what I've read in some interviews it seems pretty original, but you're right it does seem like a bit of a trend.

inanechild (August 9, 2005)

I find it highly ironic a devoted Protest the Hero fan would use the word "faggot" to defend the band. I don't even like the band and even I know what their song "Fear and Loathing in Laramie" was about!

Someone (August 9, 2005)

hear hear. You know, 'faggot' is the argument used by the self-righteous idiots when they have nothing left intelligent to say.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

First, who said I was a devoted fan? Second, speaking of "nothing left intelligent to say." check your grammar, and then we'll talk intelligence.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

Actually, it makes perfect sense. But, don't mind me, I disagree with you, and therefore must be a faggot.

Someone (August 10, 2005)

then we're a greed.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

I glanced @ the icon and thought it was the Ghostbusters logo for some reason... On that note, you can get Ghostbusters 1&2 for $13 at Wal-Mart -- that is a STEAL! - Kirby

Someone (August 9, 2005)

I won't be buying this as I don't support labels funded on Avril money or the owner of said label's ego or expensive coke habit.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

London didnt pay for UO. What Avril money are you referring to?

inanechild (August 9, 2005)

I would assume he's refering to the fact that one of the members of Closet Monster was once in Avril Lavigne's band.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

gee, thanks for the explanation...

Someone (August 10, 2005)

two of them, actually. one of them just stayed longer on account of he was fucking her.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

Ah actually, "London" did use his own money to start the label, and it was from working for Avril. Whether you think that's wrong or not, it is the truth. I personally don't give a fuck either way.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

ohhh nooo! too bad for you!!! I sense some jealousy here...

Someone (August 10, 2005)

& your fucking style core t-shirts and hair dye are paid for by your parents cushy corporate jobs or your part time work flipping burgers a McD's. and all the bands you listen to on major labels are paid for by Christina and Brittney and MTV videos you watch are paid for by all kinds of Demons. Same old fucking 'Punk Rock' bullshit. Grow up, or step up and do something with your 'dirty' money that supports others, or go live in a forrest and eat berries.

Someone (August 10, 2005)

way to both generalize and address the issues at hand. you sir, are a joke. go do another rail.

Someone (August 9, 2005)

Are these guys serious? How fucking pretentious can this band get... "cinematic trailer'?

Someone (August 9, 2005)

This band plays in front of CIBC and is like 'ohhh corporate death!' so fuckign lame...

You've got to be kidding, with a remark like that it's obvious how little you understood of the point being made.

Someone (August 10, 2005)

they're not even political anymore though

Someone (August 10, 2005)

Because Protest the Hero are so politically aware, too bad I am such a conformist square, I would never understand the true depth of their insightful messages. Face it, these are the high school kids you know who write 'meat is murder' on their levis (protest actually do do this btw). 'you won't eat our meat, but you glue with our feet!'

Someone (August 10, 2005)

A calculated use of sound was written when they were 15, what were you doing when you were 15 other than masterbating excessively? They never proclaimed their politics as brilliant, or even so much as correct, they laid out a set of beliefs.

Someone (August 10, 2005)

I am such a facist, I cannot decipher your call to arms.

Someone (August 10, 2005)

When I was 15 I was playing shows with those assclowns actually I am ashamed to admit.

Someone (August 10, 2005)

yeah, and they were dedicating every song to "london" in thanks for giving them some of his Avril money. 15 is a good age to mold people, it would seem. Now they all dress and act like he does. (ie. being a sideshow bob looking' cokehead who rips his jeans and wifebeaters to let everyone know that he's from streets, and not upperclass ajax.) clowns.

Someone (August 10, 2005)

but he tore down the system and fought the power!!! OMG!!!

Someone (August 11, 2005)

This is the biggest load of shit I've ever heard. You kids are clearly STILL 15, or else you'd have something a little more relevent to talk about, rather than speculation, and fictitious truths. How about this, if you appreciate musical ability, give the album a chance, however if your camo shorts, and cut off t's are so tight that your head is getting ready to explode into a mess of poorly crafted comeback kid lyrics, do everyone a favor and grow up.

Someone (August 11, 2005)

This comes from a fan of Protest. My condolances.

Someone (August 11, 2005)

he actually said "fictitious truths". way to try and sound smart with a phrase that contradicts itself.

Someone (August 12, 2005)

It's called an oxymoron, it was intentional.

TheOneTrueBill (August 10, 2005)

I thought that was the Red Scare logo.

it is.

Someone (August 16, 2005)

August 30th will destroy my balls... this album is going to be incredible. Both Tracks on the net thus far are wicked; very slick instrumentals -- I can't wait to see them in concert again, their live show is phenom.
