Guitarist Tim Millar from Whitby, Ontario based hardcore/progressive outfit PROTEST THE HERO has issued the following update:

"After collectively recreating the Footloose dance to subside our anger, Gallop Meets The Earth hasn't met the deadline. With countless hours of editing, tirelessly watching our cheesy and unacceptable stage moves, making sure all the bonus footage wasn't too inappropriate and embarrassing, and Luke himself running to FedEx to mail out the final copy of our upcoming DVD release, I regretfully am here to inform you that there was a manufacturing defect not once, but twice in the process of mass producing this DVD. That being said, the release in the States is unaffected by this, but in Canada the new release date is September 29th. Please understand that we did everything on our end to get this DVD done and out on time and this was entirely out of our control. I'm sure it's already on your favorite torrent site as we speak so I guess no one's missing out. So please join us with the rage subsiding Footloose dance, or at least watch that episode of Flight of The Conchords. Maybe we just built up too much bad Karma in the last five years.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's coming."

Protest The Hero's new CD/DVD Gallop Meets The Earthwill be released via Underground Operations/Universal Music Canada and Vagrant Records in the US. The tracklist is as follows: 'Sequoia Throne', 'No Stars Over Bethlehem', 'Bloodmeat', 'The Dissentience', 'Palms Read', 'Blindfolds Aside', 'Goddess Bound', 'Goddess Gagged', 'Spoils', 'Nautical', 'Limb from Limb'.
