The Protest, known for their powerful rock anthems, has released their latest single, “Dying Breath.” This independently released track is a raw and emotional expression of the band’s journey and struggles in the music industry.
Frontman Joshua Bramlett explains that “Dying Breath” is a follow-up to their previous song “Greater” and is perhaps their most desperate song yet. The track delves into the challenges of life on the road, financial hardships, doubts about their impact, and the daily struggle to keep their dreams alive. Despite these hardships, the song is not a lament but a rallying cry for perseverance and hope.
The band is determined to inspire others to keep fighting their own battles and to continue running their race, no matter the obstacles. Bramlett emphasizes their commitment to bringing hope through their music, especially when they themselves feel like they’re at the end of their rope.
Musically, “Dying Breath” matches the intensity of its lyrics. The guitars, played by Adam Sadler and T.J. Colwell, burn with passion alongside Joshua Bramlett’s vocals, all held together by Jarob Bramlett’s thunderous drumming. The track was produced by Mitchell Marlow, known for his work with bands like P.O.D. and Starset.
The release of “Dying Breath” coincides with the launch of The Protest’s fall tour, where they’ll be performing in various cities throughout the South and Midwest alongside Relentless Flood’s Marshal Huffman. This tour promises to bring their electrifying music to audiences across multiple states.
The Protest has established themselves as a consistent force in underground rock, with a reputation for delivering powerful songs like “Greater,” “What Else You Got,” and “Welcome to the Freakshow.” In addition to their music, Josh and Jarob Bramlett are also involved in the music industry through their boutique design agency, Quiet Strength Design.
With “Dying Breath,” The Protest continues to make their mark in the world of rock music, using their experiences and music to uplift and inspire others facing their own challenges. Listen on all platforms here
