ProtestTheHero

Our favorite Canadian prog-metallers Protest the Hero will return to the US for a three-week headlining tour, which will run from Nov. 28 through Dec. 22. So the band will be going right up until the holidays. What a good way to pass the time, right...

Everything and anything can be monetized for a good cause. Protest the Hero guitarist Tim Millar is shaving his 19-month-old beard and auctioning off some of the whiskers for Walk for MS, a charity for multiple sclerosis. Last time we checked, the eBay auction was up to 5 bids at nearly $115, with $10 economy shipping...

Protest the Hero are one of the most forward-thinking bands in the metal world today. Doubters need to look no further than their latest album, 'Scurrilous.' The 10 song journey features sky-scraping guitars, operatic vocals, and the most personal lyrics the Canadian band has ever put down on tape...

Protest the Hero just finished up headlining the annual SnoCore tour across their homeland of Canada, but the entire time frontman Rody Walker has been keeping Spinner up to date with a tour blog. So what should we expect from the travels of the prog metal band with a smile...

Our neighbor to the North -- we mean Canada -- has its Canadian Independent Music Award, also known as the Indies every year, and the organization is celebrating its 10th year!

Strung Out are celebrating their 20th year together, but they still have more fans in the punk and hardcore world than they do in the metal community. That doesn't mean their high-energy hybrid of both genres doesn't deserve the Noisecreep seal of approval...

Another week is in the books, people, and the summer's just getting started (although it feels like Seattle in December here in New York City lately; what gives, Ma Nature?) This month, some of the summer's biggest tours will be kicking off, and we're psyched about that...

Protest the Hero guitarist Tim Millar had been growing his beard from three years in order to compete in the 2009 World Beard and Moustache Championships, held on May 23 in Anchorage, Alaska. Millar competed in the "Alaskan Whale" category and while he didn't take home the top prize for his face fur, he relished the experience, nonetheless...

TGIFF, right? Man, it was a busy week for us here at Noisecreep, and now, it's time to let our headbangin' hair down for the long weekend. We ended the week on a high note, though. The dudes from Bury Your Dead stopped by our offices yesterday, and they talked to us about their new album and that van accident they all barely walked away from last fall...
