Protest the Hero Confirm New Album Palimpsest; Unveil Lead Single “The Canary”

Luke Hoskin, Michael Ieradi, Rody Walker, and Tim MacMillar, the musicians who are collectively known as Protest The Hero will release a new album on June 19th! Titled Palimpsest, the ten-track album is the band’s first in four years, since 2016’s Pacific Myth. Details including the tracklisting and cover artwork can be found below, along with the video for the album’s lead single “The Canary.”

Hoskin commented on the news, saying, “Palimpsest is by far the most challenging record we have worked on. The writing and recording process saw so many delays, it’s honestly hard to keep them straight. We are very proud of how each hurdle was handled though, and the end result is a record that we believe is deserving of such an endeavor.”

Elaborating further, Rody Walker, also shares, “This record was extremely difficult for me personally. With my first child on the way, I built a studio in my basement to ensure I wasn’t leaving my wife alone with a new child for weeks on end. I haven’t left my house since. What made it most difficult was the change in my voice. During our final tour just before we were set to start recording, I blew my voice out, and it didn’t come back. I spent a long time fighting with it trying to bounce back and failing. Finally, through coaching and rehearsal, I got it back in shape. For the first time in my life singing felt like an actual job and I’m still pissed about it. I have never worked harder to put out music in my life and I am extremely proud of the product.”
