The Dears - Protest EP




Hey hey brothers and sisters. I've got far too much time on my hands (among other things) so I figured I'd pop some shit up. The Dears Protest EP! This doesn't really sound much like the material that came before or after it, but it's a kickass record just the same. It's another one of those: "Hey, have you heard of The Dears? Oh you have? I bet you don't own this obscure EP".

The Dears originally released the Protest EP in 2002 in limited numbers and with different album artwork, so the original release is much more coveted for collectors, but we're internet users not archivists, so we can skip that bullshit. Thankfully The Dears re-released Protest in 2004 with an additional track "Protest(parallel)" which is easily the most intricate song The Dears have produced to date. So dig this shit. It's brief, but ballsy.

Recommended as a soundtrack for waving an AK47 around in a busy office building

Much Love,

How fortunate, I was delaying waving an AK47 about my office because I lacked a suitable soundtrack. Now I'm all set!

Thanks! Also, love the blog.
