PROTEST THE HERO announce Warped Tour, N.A. Chiodos tour; U.S. tour starts today
PROTEST THE HERO announces that they will be playing the Ernie Ball stage every day of this summers Vans Warped Tour. The Whitby, Ontario five-piece is touring in support of FORTRESS (1/29/08), their sophomore Vagrant release that debuted at #1 in Canada and #95 in the U.S.
Protest The Hero just wrapped up a sold-out Canadian tour with Silverstein and as the tour moves south, their first U.S. date is tonight in Rhode Island. The band is scheduled to play Bamboozle Left on April 6th, and will now be joining Chiodos for an April North American tour, before heading off to Japan and Europe. PTH will return to the U.S. for the Vans Warped Tour that runs from June 20th to August 17th.
The press is raving about Protest The Hero and Fortress, with Revolver saying,
like Metallica and Iron Maiden before them, they're less interested in showing off than they are in squeezing their instrumental virtuosity and structural complexity into songs that move at the speed of pop. Imagine Muse for metalheads, and Decibel adding that PTH are phenomenally talented, intense, and heady. MTV News sums up, The songs (on Fortress) are rhythmically complex, technically proficient, fiercely metallic and strikingly melodic, sounding a bit like a hybrid of Coheed and Cambria, Slayer and the Dillinger Escape Plan. Bloodmeat, the first track and video from Fortress, is currently getting video play on MTVs Headbangers Ball, and airplay at metal radio.
Protest The Hero is: Rody Walker (lead vocals), Luke Hoskin (lead guitar, vocals, piano), Tim Millar (guitar, vocals), Moe Carlson (drums), and Arif Mirabdolbaghi (bass, vocals).
