Overview
Biography The band is comprised of five members: Rody "small cock" Walker (lead vocals), Tim (dirty hippy) Millar (guitars, live backup vocals), Luke "homo" Hoskin (lead guitars, live backup vocals, piano), Morgan "Moe" Carlson (drums) and Arif "osama" Mirabdolbaghi (bass guitar, live backup screaming/clean vocals).
Protest the Hero's popularity is slowly expanding outside of punk/metal/hardcore scenes in and around the cities and towns they have performed in. Now teamed up with Universal Music Canada for distributional services, Protest the Hero hopes to become popular over most of Canada and, with their recent signing to Vagrant Records, the United States as well. In 2004 they won the Canadian Independent Music Award for Favourite Metal Artist/Group, beating out much more known Alexisonfire. They were nominated for the 2006 Canadian Music Week Indie Awards' Favourite Metal Artist/Group, which Kataklysm won in March of that year. Also in 2006, the band was also nominated for the CASBY Award.[1] In addition, members of the band appeared in a televised commercial for the instrument store, Long & Mcquade. Year 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

A music video for their song These Colours Don't Run from the album A Calculated Use of Sound was released in 2003. The video begins with the band discussing the meaning of the song and features the band playing the song live at numerous locations in Toronto, Ontario, with the album music dubbed overtop of the actual live music. At each location, the band would hand out lyrics to passers-by and encourage them to listen or sing along. The band has also released videos for the songs The Divine Suicide of K, Blindfolds Aside, and Heretics and Killers, all three from Kezia.

Protest The Hero started officially writing music for their new album in January, 2007. They finished recording it on August 10th, as said by Rody during the 2007 Vans Warped Tour in Barrie. The new album will be called Fortress.
Genre Beginning as a punk-rock group with prominent pop tendencies, influences from bands such as Propagandhi were apparent. Their EP A Calculated Use of Sound defined them as a hardcore Punk band; the album was filled with moderate song structures and advanced soloing and guitar riffing work. Their current sound (from Kezia) is more difficult to classify. Vocalist Rody has mentioned "we don't consider genres, they're irrelevant". Propagandhi is a political anarcho-hardcore band formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1986 by Chris Hannah and Jord Samolesky. ...

Trivia - Some members of the band have the word "protest." tattooed on them.
- Usually the only song from their first CD that they play live is "I Am Dmitri Karamazov And The World Is My Father" because they feel that they have moved past that stage in music, and find that that album is too bland and does not properly reflect the type of music they stand for anymore. They've even added a new technical part to the song during the slow outro to spice it up and have it fit in with their other songs.
- Protest has stopped selling copies of their old album "A Calculated Use Of Sound" at shows.
- The song "Divinity Within" from the album "Kezia" is featured on the NHL 07 videogame soundtrack
- Rody Walker has put songs that he has recorded on a PureVolume page. These songs include; I Struck Down a Dragon in a Little Over a Minute and Chris Wynne the Bounty Hunter and two others.
- In September 2006, guitarist Luke Hoskin was detained at the Vancouver-US border for possessing a bag with less than 0.2 grams of marijuana, preventing him from continuing on their tour with Trivium and The Sword.
- During the music video for "Heretics and Killers", in the scene where Tim is working as a counter boy, he enters the value "3.14159", which are the first 6 digits of the numerical value of pi.
- Arif was featured in the Closet Monster music video "Mamma Anti-Facisto (Never Surrender)" he can be seen to the left of London during the main group scenes.
- Rody mentioned (in Protest the Hero's June 2nd, 2007 show in Toronto) that he hates Tim Hortons because they "ruined egg salad by wrapping it in a tortilla".
