Protest the Hero performs "These Colors Don't Run"

It's definitely the time of year for the hardcore show, as this week's calendar clearly proves. Tonight (Oct. 12) at the Showplace Theater is a highly anticipated rock show featuring the Orlando band Trivium, Austin, TX's the Sword, and post-hardcore Canadian up-and-comers Protest the Hero (pictured). A five-man band out of Whitby, Ontario, Protest the Hero just released a debut full length on Vagrant Records called Kezia. All three acts have expanded outside the punk/metal/hardcore scene, so don't expect the typical hardcore show. Doors open at 6pm.
