Just wondering what the board's opinion on this band is. I'm not sure how well known they are in the States, but I think they're at least a little big up here in ol' Canada. Personally, I enjoy them a lot. But I do see why many people dislike them and their style. I think "A Calculated Use of Sound" and "Kezia" are both wonderful albums, and it's a shame that the former isn't really acknowledged anymore, as it somewhat differs from their new "style". Their new album "Fortress" is out early next year, and there's one song, "Sequoia Throne", from said album on their myspace. The other three songs are all from "Kezia". If you feel so obliged, give 'em a listen to and reply with what you like/dislike about the band. I've seen a bit of the general musical taste on this board, and it's EXTREMELY diverse, so I suppose I should warn you that they are a rather punkish/metalish/thrashish group. They're political, they sound like an "emo" band on a superficial level, (as many seem to associate "emo" with these type of vocals.) That was a long introduction. So please, Enjoy! Discuss!

I prefer Kezia, but both albums are awesome...and Protest the Hero is AMAZING. Seriously, these guys are just incredible and very talented...though a good portion of this board doesn't dig this sorta stuff too much.
But still...awesome, awesome band.

I thought this was going to be another viral Dark Knight campaign, from the name.

Nope, it's totally not...but you should TOTALLY check out the band in any case. Their new song is crazy.

I find this topic funny after the 'Are band names getting dumber?' topic.

I liked the band after seeing the Heretic's and Killers video, then I was able to see them live opening for Avenged Sevenfold. They didn't sound the best live but they were the most entertaining, after that I started to listen to them more. I'm not a die hard fan but I do enjoy them quite a bit.

I find this topic funny after the 'Are band names getting dumber?' topic. I think it's a pretty rad name personally... It fits the bands style to a tea. Nowhere near as silly as "The Number 12 Looks Like You" I've seen them live a few times, and I have some mixed opinions. They're extremely entertaining in their performance and presence and such, but it severely detriments the sound. I heard them play some of the new songs live before they had been recorded, and it just sounded awful because I had no idea what it was SUPPOSED to sound like. Edit: The new video for "Blood Meat" is up now on Muchmusic.
