Mike Protich spent years and two albums as the lead singer of the band Red Sun Rising. They had two number-one rock songs and a few more top ten songs. In 2019 the band decided to call it quits. Mike and a couple of his bandmates kept going as a brand new project called The Violent. This is not Red Sun x2 though, this is entirely different. I caught up with Mike backstage at The Epic Event Center in Green Bay, WI.
