Protest The Hero was created when the school friends were just 14-years-old and realized their mutual passion for music. We started this band because we love music - writing it, recording it, playing it, performing it, and improving on it, comments lead singer Rody Walker.
Over the next 5 years the band forfeited weekends and summer vacations to develop their craft and to make a name for themselves on the road. With a sound and style reminiscent of Coheed And Cambria-meets-Every Time I Die, Protest The Hero built up a loyal following of fans that appreciate skilled musicianship clashing head on with artistic passion.
PTH have released two records on Canadian punk rock label Underground Operations, 2001s vinyl 7 Search For The Truth and the 2003 EP, A Calculated Use of Sound. Protest The Hero was awarded Best Indie Metal Band at the 2004 Indie Music Awards during Canadian Music Week in Toronto and has ventured into the spotlight with multiple appearances on MuchMusics The Punk Show, as well as various radio show appearances and performances along with a relentless tour schedule.
It's not an easy life, on the road says Rody, but it's something that every developing band has to do. If you ever want to leave your parents garage, you have to be prepared to break your back and like it.
The day that Protest The Hero finished their final senior high exams, they left on a three-week headlining tour from Toronto to Halifax entitled Cock the Vote, not only to spread their name, but more importantly to raise voter consciousness for the upcoming Canadian election. The band has played with such acts as Limp Bizkit, Korn, Raised Fist, Bigwig, Choke, Death By Stereo, Alexisonfire, Sum41 and tons of others. They also played the Canadian dates of the Vans Warped Tour.The band's dedication and extreme work ethic is about to be further realized with the debut US release of their first full-length album, Kezia.
Kezia is an intricately executed situationist requiem similar to a concept album in that it tells a story. Kezia embodies all that Protest The Hero was and is, amidst the confounds of a breathtaking tale illustrating the doomed execution of the title character. The story is chronicled in the perspective of three characters: The Prison Priest, The Prison Guard/Gunman, and Kezia herself. Each character is designated a section containing three songs, with a single retrospective finale concluding the album. The three characters represent an aspect of the band-members themselves, resulting in a deeply personal album. The lyrics on Kezia are something deeply personal to all of us. They reflect personal losses, and moral changes within all of us, states Rody Labeling Kezia a concept album is an insult to all of us.
Produced by Julius 'Juice' Butty, Kezia melds melody, thrash, metal, passion, enlightenment, anger, politics, punk rock and intensity. Rather than writing songs within their musical boundaries, Protest actually wrote music that they could not play, and then forced themselves to learn how to play it over the last two years.Kezia was a big jump for us, but it was the most honest, natural progression we could have possibly made, says Rody.Initially it was quite difficult to be taken seriously, as we were so young, however we've had few problems of that nature since the release of Kezia.

Overview[edit]
Production began in late 2004 overseen by Julius 'Juice' Butty as their producer-in-chief (known for his work on Alexisonfire's gold-selling album Watch Out!). Kezia was released in Canada on August 30, 2005 and sold 500 copies in the first week and went on to sell more than 5000 copies in the next 2–3 weeks.[1] The American release on April 4, 2006 debuted with an online contest. The first one hundred albums purchased included an additional album - A Calculated Use of Sound, the 2004 reissue.
Kezia is a concept album, and was described by the band members as a 'situationist requiem'. In an interview from July 2006, Rody Walker describes the concept of the album: [2]
There are two ways to explain the concept behind 'Kezia': the literal meaning of it and the deeper meaning behind it. The simple explanation is that you have three characters on the album who all describe a certain situation from their point of view, which is the execution of a woman. We chose a priest, a prison guard who's also the executioner and the woman in question, Kezia. They all have three songs to tell their story. In the first song they paint a general picture, the second track explains how the character feels connected to Kezia and the third one is their view on the shooting of Kezia. The last song on the album brings us as a band into the picture, although the lyrics are written in the form of Kezia's last words. The deeper meaning of the concept is the gradual downfall of our society. We tried to make the lyrics timeless, so the story could be situated in any time period. There are also political and social critical messages in it. Not that we bluntly say that we hate Tony Blair or George Bush, but more in general comments on the fact that religion and power are getting more intwined every day. The album is also about the responsibility that everyone has as a member of our society. It's your civil duty to act when you need to.

The album received acclaim from many reviewers praising the album for its technicality and Walker's vocal range. Corey Apar of Allmusic states: 'Sounding as if maximum emotion were packed into every second possible, each note of Kezia bleeds urgent passion — from the searing vocals of Rody Walker to blistering guitar leads to acoustic midsong breaks to compelling harmonies and growls alike.'[4] Furthermore, Kezia received a nomination from Toronto-based radio station 102.1 the edge for their 2005 CASBY Awards for Favorite New Indie Release.[8]
The song 'Bury the Hatchet' is available for download on the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II. 'Divinity Within' is also featured on the soundtrack to NHL 07.

The band filmed their third video for the song 'Heretics and Killers' in mid-February 2006. It was released in April 2006. The video featured the band dressed as the flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz who have lost their jobs (as a result of the Wicked Witch's death). The video is shot entirely in sepia until an explosive instrumental break-out in which vibrant colours are used for the remainder of the video.
On May 17, 2007, the band shot a video for their final single from Kezia, 'The Divine Suicide of K'. It features a more gothic setting where the members of the group sing in an imaginary bar for female vampires.
