Again I've culpably "discovered" another great band too late!
For some unknown reason I had never heard of Protest The Hero until a few months ago, when I walked into a guitar store, heard this amazingly technical metal music in the background and asked the zombie at the counter who the band was...
I think what sets them apart from other tech bands is their vocals, the singer can actually sing and has a great range, sort of everything James LaBrie wanted to be but couldn't.
OK, forget the Shorthills Mall lyrics, I guess NJ members know what I mean, pretentious yet still tacky, but the songwriting and musicianship are excellent.
Anyway, what do you think?
