Protest The Hero's new album came out yesterday!!!
Fuck yeeaaaah. I got it off iTunes last night and listened to it on the way to/from class today. It's only got 10 tracks, but the awesome-level makes up for that. I'm pretty sure I'll have this album on repeat for the next few weeks.
My friend told me that Rody wrote the lyrics for this album (Arif usually does) so I was a little tentative about listening to it because one of my favorite things about Protest is their lyrics. The first song that came on my iPod was "Moonlight," and it was good, but not the same level of amazing that I was used to. I'm laughing at myself now, though, because Wiki tells me that's one of the two songs that Arif did write the lyrics to (you can definitely tell his other one, C'est la vie, it's reminiscent of the style of Fortress). The second song that came on was "Hair-Trigger." It so won me over. The opening lyrics may have helped with that... "That sweet little red head's got her hooks in my back."
The music's obviously fucking fantastic, it's Protest. There's one part in "Sex Tapes" (lyrics in title are from that track as well) that has the coolest vocals - when he sings "be careful what you're looking at because it may be looking back."
Wicked album. Go buy it. Support bad ass Canadian music.
Also, if anyone has any pull with the band, please beg them to add some East coast dates to their tour.
