You should help Protest the Hero!

      Canadian progressive quintet Protest the Hero, long-time contenders of the underground scene, have formally parted ways with their former record label Vagrant and are now self-funding their fourth album - which is slated for a summer release.
      The band began a fundraiser yesterday on indiegogo, hoping to get $125,000 within a month. At first, this seems like an incredibly difficult, if not impossible task, but within 24 hours, the band has raised over $117k. Damn.
       When last I checked (last night at 9pm), the band was more than halfway done, clocking in at about $69k. And to make things even better, the band has offered a host of freebies to anyone who donates - from vinyl copies to guitar picks to guitars to a pizza party with the band to Rody Walker writing and singing a song about you (it is Protest the Hero after all).
        It goes without saying that this band is one of the most technically talented and hard-working musicians out there. Yet somehow, they always manage to stay in good humor - I even listed them as one of the funniest bands on the scene right now. If you can spare $10, not only will you get a digital copy of the album before anyone else, but you'll be funding a project that's sure to deliver.

EDIT (1/18): Holy balls. The band has surpassed their $125k goal and has almost raised $200k. Whoa.
