Protest The Hero will now be releasing their new album “Palimpsest” on June 18 instead of June 19. The band made the change out of respect for Juneteenth, the annual holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. The group said the following:
“Many months ago, when we set the date of our record release, we decided on the date of June 19th. When we realized our scheduled release day coincides with Juneteenth, we didn’t feel right about celebrating our album when we should be observing the holiday. Recently we have been doing our best to look inward and acknowledge our prejudice and privilege. In doing so, we must recognize the importance of Juneteenth, and we don’t want to detract from it in any way. Palimpsest will now be released on Thursday, June 18th. Detailed information on where/how you can purchase/stream the record will be provided tomorrow.”
