The Protest
After years of hard work and sharing the stage with national Christian Rock acts such as Disciple, Decyfer Down, The Letter Black, Sent by Ravens, and Icon For Hire, Protest for Pluto entered the studio with Grammy nominated producer Travis Wyrick in the summer of 2011. They emerged from their studio time as a new band with a revamped vision and sound. These changes called for a reinvention of the band. Taking on the name "The Protest" the band has set out to make a major impact in the music industry and to spread the word of God through their high energy music and live show. The band believes that as Christians we should "protest" for God's truth and "protest" against the things that contradict that truth. The band's self-titled EP will be availible on iTunes January 31st and the full length album this summer. They invite all their fans to come and see them live and be a part of this pivotal time.
