Protest The Hero has been doing things on its own terms for a little while now. its 2013 album Scurrilous was crowdfunded and broke some serious records, considering it was one of the first big bands to really take that route.
Now the band is back with another interesting way to give fans music! Enter Protest The Hero's subscription-based service. The service will cost you $12 for the year and you'll be getting a brand new song o the 15th of every month for the next six months… which sounds like $12 for an EP? That's the way I'm looking at it at least. Here's how the band explained it-
So here she blows!
For a long time, we have been dreaming of a new way to bring you our music. We wanted something more direct than a standard album release and record cycle. After months of soul searching and a little bit of elbow grease, we proudly present to you "Pacific Myth" – our new subscription song and video platform.
At it's core, this is a 'song a month' platform which launches RIGHT NOW. We will be releasing a new song every month for 6 months, always on the 15th. In our opinion, this is the most direct way we can deliver you new tunes.
We have chosen to lead things off this month with "Ragged Tooth" a cracking little banger of a song which we felt represented where we are headed with all of this. It's important to note that every song release will be accompanied with an instrumental mix of the song as well as hi-res album art, lyrics, and liner notes.
All of the info for the subscription, the motivation behind building it, and the first song itself can be found here:
