Technical genre-smashers Protest The Hero are the latest, and perhaps the most prominent, band to make use of BandCamp’s subscription process.
“For a long time, we have been dreaming of a new way to bring you our music,” the band announced on Facebook.
“We wanted something more direct than a standard album release and record cycle. After months of soul searching and a little bit of elbow grease, we proudly present to you “Pacific Myth” – our new subscription song and video platform.”
The Ontario four-piece will be releasing a track on the 15th of each month, starting with yesterday’s ‘Ragged Tooth’.
“In our opinion, this is the most direct way we can deliver you new tunes,” the band explain.
Each track release will be accompanied by an instrumental mix as well as album art, liner notes and lyrics.
“We truly appreciate your continued support as we venture down this new path. And don’t worry, we aren’t done with tradition full length records, we just need a break from em,” Protest The Hero conclude.
To avoid any confusion, the band have also shared a frequently asked questions page.
