PROTEST THE BORING STUDIO VIDEOS

At what point does it become no longer acceptable to use “Protest the ____” as a headline for any story about Protest the Hero? Certainly not today.

These Canadians seem to have a particular knack for creating interesting video content on the web, be it their myriad stellar music videos, this summer’s pre-production video or the series of studio webisodes they started rolling out this past weekend. Their music videos have always put the band’s sense of humor on full display, and the first of these studio vids is no different. Where so many bands release boring clips that aren’t entertaining to watch, don’t let you hear any new music or both, PtH’s first studio webisode has plenty of footage of the dudes laying down tracks (bass and drums) and lots of the expected “band dudes goofing off” stuff that you’d expect from one of these, only it’s put together in a way that’s actually funny for people other than the band members themselves.

Expect more PtH worship on MetalSucks as the autumn grinds on culminating in the supposed “early 2011” release of their next album. Apparently you’re all as excited as I am about it.
