Protest The Hero (PTH) 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.
Their storied career has earned them a Revolver Golden Gods Award, two Canadian Independent Music Awards, a JUNO Award, and millions of views online leading to a number one 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 their fourth album Volition, PTH met their goal in 24 hours and had more than tripled that sum when it was over. That album went on win a JUNO Award for “Metal / Hard Album of the Year. “
After a successful European and Australian tour, PTH finished writing songs for their new album Pacific Myth, released in November 2016.
