Protokoll 19 returns with ‘Mental Decay’ EP – Out now
Protokoll 19
Hailing from Tampa,FL Protokoll 19 is a dark electronic duo (Travis Hines and Jayson Smith) infusing harsh synths, heavy beats, and aggressive vocals. Protokoll 19 has now announced the release of their new EP, “Mental Decay”.
Says founding member, Jayson Smith: “Anxiety and depression is something many of us know all too well. We focus in on the lows that are felt when struggling with mental health and the never-ending fight to push through these thoughts. If you take note of the subject matter of each song you’ll notice the track order is set in a way to make you feel the low points and then get a sense of relief and hope only to cycle through it once again.”
Mental Decay is available on all major streaming outlets including Spotify and Bandcamp. Read the review of ‘Mental Decay’.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
