#131: Protest the Hero's Tim Millar

Tim Millar, guitarist for Protest the Hero, guests this week.
Protest the Hero have reinvented the way to make music so many
different times we had to talk to Tim about the crowdfunding for
Volition, their new subscriber campaign through Bandcamp, whether
they realize that they are turning the industry on its head, what
the consequences may be for touring and releasing
records, and how this new strategy might effect the rest of the
bands in the industry who may want to try new things with their
music. We also talk about bands who fall victim to and are stuck in
the old model, with all the legal flap around Metallica suing a
Canadian cover band and Warner Brothers Records working hard to
keep Avenged Sevenfold on their roster. The struggles
in the industry are real even for the top metal bands in the
world. We talk about the tragic events of the first part of the
year -- Lemmy, Bowie, Rickman, Tera Wray -- all turn to dust, and
how that kinda sucks. Songs:Protest the Hero - "Cataract"
