Title: WIN TIX: Protest The Hero (CAN)/Bris Hifi 4/9/Ans Q/Qld Post by: oldfellow on Tuesday 19 August 2014, 04:34:38 am http://www.thehifi.com.au/offers/win-tix-protest-the-hero-usa/
(http://www.thehifi.com.au/site/media/protest_large.jpg) Protest The Hero Thu 04 September The Hi-Fi BRISBANE 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 songcraft. Across Protest The Hero’s cinematic fourth album, 2013’s ‘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 crowdfund ‘Volition’, PTH met their goal in 24 hours and had more than tripled that sum when it was over. Protest The Hero’s hyper-charged bombast is as urgent as their spiritual forefathers in Canadian agitators Propaghandi and they are as skilled as any of the musical shamans who the fill pages of guitar and bass blogs. Metromix once wrote that guitarists Luke Hoskin and Tim Millar are “deserving of their own Guitar Hero game.” Bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi displays a dexterity and fluidity that sends fans furiously searching online for tips and tabs. The entire sound is all buoyed by Rody Walker’srecognizable and charismatic wail, as distinctive as the voice that leads fellow Canadians Rush.
