Even though they hail from rural Indiana, known more for cornfields than as a "Hot Bed" for Hard Rock and Metal music - the members of The Protest have embraced that American heartland work ethic and used their talent, drive and determination to bring the band's music to a global audience.

Positive energy is abundant in their live shows and is showcased in the new album Legacy, due out July 13th on Rockfest Records/Sony.

Their new single What Else You Got is a fist pumping anthem about never backing down and fighting on despite adversity. Check the video now clicking on the image.

You know I have a soft spot for Canadian singer/songwriter Fefe Dobson. I don't know if it's for her attitude, or for the catchiness of the songs... maybe both. Well, Fefe will release her new album "Firebird" later in the year via 21 Music - Universal Music Canada.

The new record will include the leading single "In Better Hands": the official music video debuted today. Watch it now clicking on the frame on the left.
