Hed P.E. Announce Massive Aus and NZ Tour for 2025
-
Fresh out of a tour over United States and Europe, Hed P.E. are ready to take on Australia once again, and New Zealand for the first time since 2018, thanks to October Presents.
Hed P.E. have been prominent in the rock and metal scene, with their nu-metal adjacent unique blend of rock, punk, rasta, gangsta rap, and soul, affectionately coined as "G-Punk." If you haven’t yet experienced the force of Hed P.E., you can expect loud, solid grooves and funk infused rhythms all laced by the flow, melody and cadence of frontman, Jahred Gomes.
Their most recent and incredible fifteenth album, Detox, was released in December 2023 and shows a band with no time to sit on their hands and muse about the past. Detox is a crushing return to their original sound that the fans and casual listeners know and adore.
Gomes says of the record; "Detox embarks on a spiritual journey from a state of chemical enslavement to self-liberation, and then, ironically, back again. I composed this from an intimately personal standpoint, as I grappled with addiction throughout my life. On this album, I’m unapologetically candid, addressing topics such as sexuality, substance use, and a hardcore lifestyle. I’ve incorporated more rap elements, and the music is notably heavier and thrash oriented. I discovered the inspiration to delve into some gritty subjects. This album truly grants the audience what they’ve longed for, without compromising artistic integrity.”
