Of Our Own Volition

Before we can show you the making of our album "Volition", we felt it necessary to show you where we came from. While it's an embarrassing trip down memory lane for us, we hope it's an informative preamble for you!

This episode takes a look into why Protest The Hero decided to crowdfund their 4th album and the results from that decision. The band was unsure if anyone still cared about their music. The response from this campaign rejuvenated their spirits and taught them never to take their listeners for granted.

Episode 3 is all about drums. We lost our friend and bandmate Moe when he decided to head back to school. So we reached out to Chris Adler to see if he would be interested in drumming on our new album. Shockingly, he was thrilled so we flew him up and got down to business. You will see how that process went down, what problems we ran into and most importantly, the beer we like to drink while recording. Enjoy!

Watch us curse, sweat, and gouge out our eyes as we attempt to record the mountain that was "Volition". This episode documents the recording of guitars, bass, and vocals for the album. It also features our cherished 'top indie gogo contributors' who paid to be a part of the actual recording process. Recording technical music ain't easy, but we got it done somehow!
