They are your heroes. They are your hope. They are... The Protomen. Released in 2006, the self-titled debut album takes the tale of videogame hero Megaman and turns it into a rock opera featuring themes of the dark side of being a hero, keeping hope in a time where it is not allowed, and a city that won't fight for itself. These songs are not covers of 8-bit tunes, but original pieces built around a masterfully crafted story. If there ever was a band that deserves more credit than it receives, that band would be The Protomen.
Those who know me from the Rock Band forums may know that I'm a pretty stubborn "classics-only" guy, but the Protomen gave me hope that there is still worthy music being made. Listen to it. Love it. Join the resistance.
