Protest Hill is the solo project of RFK Heise of System and Station. In between S&S tours, RFK had a bunch of songs on the dark mellow side, so without any time to waste, he headed into the studio. RFK recorded eleven songs with Larry Crane (Elliot Smith, Sleater-Kinney, Pavement, Tape Op Magazine) at Jackpot!, where RFK played drums, bass, guitar, keys,
percussion and synth, with extras from Seth Larson on keys and percussion.
RFK Heise has been the singer/songwriter of System and Station for 7 years and the only mainstay as players have rotated over the years. They've released 5 albums, done over 16 national tours, played numerous festivals including CMJ, NWMF, PDX Popfest, Kansas City Spirit fest, and many others. They've shared the stage with bands such as Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, PW Long, Alex Chilton, Meat Puppets, Shiner, The Up On In, The White Stripes, Marky Ramone, and many more.Protest Hill is much different from System and Station- less prog and more blues, but still a good bit of rock. The songs are simply structured and melodic. Make sure to listen to “Killer’s Wit” and “Sleep Inside the Wake.” Enjoy.
Protest Hill’s The City Echoes Our Hearts comes out May 1, 2007 on Latest Flame Records.
