Hed PE

For over a decade, Huntington Beach, CA's (Hed) p.e have taken the lead of the punk-rock forefathers and empowered themselves to take control of their music. With the July 8, 2008 release of (Hed) p.e's new live CD/DVD 2-disc set "The D.I.Y Guys", the band is embracing the punk-rock work ethos to its fullest. "The D.I.Y ethic is the band's lifeblood and without it we could not exist in 2008," says frontman Jared Gomes. "It means not waiting for people to do everything for you. We don’t wait for anyone whether it’s artwork or recording or anything in between. We are never too proud to do it ourselves." (Hed) p.e’s explosive live show was caught on tape for the release of the group’s first live album and DVD release. The live CD portion was captured at Hollywood's legendary Key Club where the band performed a mixture of classic (Hed) p.e tracks as well as new fan favorites from their latest studio album "Insomnia". The DVD includes 13 live tracks as well as music videos, behind the scenes footage, interviews and "punk-rockumentary film clips from the band's lifestyle and intense political beliefs. "A lot of bands say their shit is live, but I know for a fact that they go in and patch things. Our band isn't trying to provide our people with some polished piece of crap," says Jared. "Our shows are raw and like explosive, and the live stuff is raw and explosive as well. Like the microphones get unplugged, the guitars go out of tune, but (Hed)pe is raw and a statement that is unapologetic." Since joining Suburban Noize Records for the release of 2006's "Back To Base X," (Hed)p.e has enjoyed a rebirth of grand proportions. While the group previously enjoyed success under the rule of a major label, since they gained their independence (Hed)p.e exploded into one of the premier groups in the underground and are now enjoying some of the biggest success of their career. With the release of "Back To Base X" the band hit #12 on the Top Independent Albums Charts and laid audiences to waste on sold-out tours with Kottonmouth Kings and Papa Roach. Then in 2007 the group returned to their metallic roots with "Insomnia" and landed at #138 on the Billboard Top 200. The album’s lead single “Suffa” has quickly become one of the most requested tracks at Sirius Satellite Radio’s Hard Attack, while the video was voted one of the Top 10 of 2007 on MTV's Headbanger’s Ball, beating out videos by Megadeth, Demon Hunter and Shadows Fall. "Because of the artistic freedom at Suburban Noize, the band has changed a lot. We aren't pressured to produce radio hits or stuff that sounds like other popular music," Gomes says. "So, we are provided with a blank canvas, and the art we produce has become a lot more hardcore and honest. The band feels it has a purpose and is empowered to actually do something that makes a difference. Not just some useless piece of pop junk." The group is currently in the studio recording their seventh studio album for release in Fall 2008 on Suburban Noize with plans to tour throughout the summer. When asked what direction the new material is heading in Gomes surges with excitement, "We are doing some heavy, thrash, punk rock, soul, American hardcore hip-hop type stuff. This is an album that will uplift the people and inspire them to live a fucking victorious life even in the face of the Illuminati's program of suppression," he closes with a chuckle. "Don't even get me started."

Embraced as one of the top underground acts on the independent scene. With the release of their seventh studio album, New World Orphans (NWO), the band is once again ready to lead their family of new century youth into the promise land. With every release (hed)p.e. pushes the boundaries of free speech and socially acceptable content. For years I have been told to tune down my lyrics. But great art is supposed to push boundaries. That is what makes people take notice and question things. Provocative and thought provoking art leads to dialogue. And dialogue leads to answers. And that is what we all want isnt it? Answers. The record itself takes us back to some of HED PE's roots and delivers 18 tracks of blistering, metal, punk, funk and hip hop. This record is guaranteed to be a fan favorite.
