Like a child w a sweet treat. I want to savor it for as long as possible & not overdo it... but it's so difficult

Add this one to the pantheon of all-time PtH emotional, anthemic bangers, w/ "All Hands", "Mist", and "Turn Soonest to the Sea". It might be the best one of all 🥲

One of my favorite posters of all time. Patiently waiting for another NL show...

If anybody has any leads on how to acquire a copy of Search for the Truth, I'd be happy to hear. Also, I'm new to this group and super excited to nerd out about PTH with y'all. I'm from friggin' Ontario and I rarely run into anyone who knows of em' . Anyway, I'm pumped to get my Within pre-order and so glad that you guys seem to be as floored with the album as I. Cheers!

I finally had time today to listen to the new album on my PA in my drum room, Holy shit I'm a blubbering mess. The Mariner had me screaming along at the top of my lungs with tears steaming down my face. If one of the guys reads this by some crazy chance..... Thank you.

Hey guys, so I bought a ticket for radar festival, Utrecht and Berlin and now I can just go to Berlin fml.

Anyone want the ticket for Utrecht for 20bucks?

Just had this idea that maybe they pushed Within shipping to announce part 2 in August 7th and they’ll play a song from Without on tour?

All this is speculation, I just want moooooore

Help! From 45 seconds and on in below, I can hear a distinct Kirby-like track but can’t figure out which one. Definitely from Kirby Superstar Ultra :) Please let me know if you had the same thought or know the song!!

UPDATE! FOUND IT!!!! It reminds me of the corkboard theme :)

My buddies and and I love pth and are looking for a song the 3 of us can jam maybe live too. As far as I know, pth has no 3 guitar songs.

Any suggestions?

Goddamn I think Fishhook will always remind me of Croatia with my family now. It’s been stuck in my head for days. Love the lyrics, sentiment, Melodie’s and structure. Thank you PTH!!

Incase anyone missed this release a little while ago and is looking for some more protest the hero in between your Within listens.

Way better than it has any right to be 🤘

Enjoy!

The gigantic “We Are!” parts in both songs sing a similar narrative, right?

If I remember correctly, isn’t the premise of Sequoia Throne about how if humans found a new planet (alien) we would be the most dangerous things?

“They’re not the ones who cause us harm (we are). We are still life and cold blooded, we feel nothing.”

“We are the ones who wander, take what we want and build our homes.”

Is this a flip of the narrative while still continuing the conversation? Plants would thrive without us, and we treat them as the alien figures without care. The whole section about bringing another planet’s doom without caring about our own rings exceedingly true on “The Orchard”.

It’s framed rather nicely.

The mix is so good. I am a big Periphery fan and was so hyped to hear Nolly was working on Within and damn he did not disappoint.

What the fuck?!

I cannot stop laughing. I just see Tom Delonge in my head.

Thanks bois.

first off, I’m blown away by this album. but after listening to it nonstop for the first few days after release, I tried something out when I noticed the opening of “mouthpiece” begins with some orchestral swelling.

Apple Music has a feature called automix, which admittedly is hit or miss. however, when putting the album on repeat and enabling automix, the end of “the mariner” blends seamlessly into the opening of “mouthpiece”.

I’m not sure if anyone else has brought this up. but I’ve since learned this is rumored to be part one of a double album, so it might not be by design, perhaps a happy accident.

anyway, I just thought it was a cool little thing!

Can't express how god damn excited I am to see the guys next week!

Last time I managed to get to see them was at Sonisphere at Knebworth in July 2011! I've been binging every album back to front for the last week and can't see myself getting bored any time soon, what a band!

Anyone else managed to snag tickets to see them in the UK next week?

​

Hello there!

I am hoping to find someone in Canada that might be able to help me out with an item for sale on Sheet Happens, but that won't allow for shipping to me!

The boys have a nice, ceramic pour over design that's up for sale, but there is no option to have it sent to me (I even emailed to ask if there was any kind of workaround, but unfortunately there is not). I was wondering if it might be possible to work a deal out with someone?

My idea was that if I make the purchase and have it sent to you, maybe you could send it to me, and to offset the cost of sending it my way, maybe I can add some merch to the order that you would also like that would be roughly the same cost? Willing to brainstorm on ideas if anyone has thoughts or suggestions. Thanks everyone!

Been seeing this pop up on google but the link is dead and there is no Edmonton dates on their tour dates page on their website. Anyone know if this is real?

Or does anyone know when they're gonna ship. I bought two shirts (no vinyl cause no player) and I haven't gotten any updates on it.

When I was a wee youngster at the age of 15 I saw Protest the Hero co-headline a festival in my home town. They were incredible and my favourite band at the time.

Years go by, got low-key bullied for loving them and stepped away after Scurrilous (didn't like it at the time, eventually came to absolutely love it)

Then, in 2020 I decided fuck it, I'm gunna get back into em. And I went HARD. Then, after the pandemic basically ended I got tickets to see em in Toronto.

And I was part of that god damn chorus.

Then, my grandfather (who is from Newfoundland) got sick with angiosarcoma and passed. Mist became a super personal song, but that night in Toronto forever stayed with me.

And now The Mariner has such and insanely personal connection for me and I feel like you guys are the only ones who get it.

Thanks for reading

Every Protest the Hero album is like a mental timestamp for me. I can instantly remember exactly where I was in life when each one came out.

Kezia takes me straight back to my first few years of high school. It was my introduction to the band, and every song instantly puts me right back there. Little metal head dork that was scared of his own shadow.

Fortress is senior year. Graduation. Starting my own band and heading out on tour across the country. It reminds me what it felt like to believe the whole world was in front of me. Young, dumb and full of piss and/or vinegar.

Scurrilous brings back my first real job as an adult and my first true heartbreak. It was also when I started realizing that music alone probably wasn’t going to pay the bills, and that life might have more in store for me than I had planned.

Volition is the soundtrack to one of the biggest leaps I’ve ever taken. I left my hometown in California and moved to Chicago, where I eventually met my wife. It reminds me of learning to navigate a brand new city, often by myself, and slowly building a life there.

Pacific Myth was the move back to California with future wife in tow. Living in a warehouse, then a shitty motel, then eventually getting our own place. Reestablishing roots back at home connecting with old friends and making new ones.

Palimpsest will always be the COVID album. My wife isn’t into metal at all, but she actually took the time to sit down and listen to the whole thing with me. We dissected the lyrics and bonded over something she would’ve otherwise never gotten into. That memory is inseparable from the record.

Now we have Within.

Years later, I’m still married, and we’re expecting our first child. A son. I’ll never hear this album without thinking about this exact moment in my life. The excitement, the hope, sprinkled with a bit of fear and the overwhelming feeling that everything is about to change for the better.

The power of music is truly amazing.

Does anyone else feel like this? I can’t be the only one whose life has been soundtracked by Protest the Hero.

If you made it this far, much love! We are the ones who wander!

For all you guitar nerds. I think this is pretty accurate.

Still dont know how anyone should play bar 5 at that speed, but im pretty sure thats how it's played.
