Sound: Insomnia has inspired so many artists and in spite of the trite subject, it keeps inspiring even more. Following Faithless and a few hundreds other artists of different music genres, (hed) p.e. has discovered what a sleeping disorder is. A new record by (hed) p.e. is called (I bet you guessed already) Insomnia. Known for their love to experiment with different music genres, (hed) p.e. doesn't change in a new record. As the vocalist Jared Gomes describes it, ".....

Sound: Being a constantly reinventing band, (hed)p.e. keeps their experiments with the sound, taking their fans to an adventure full of surprises with every next album (and changing record labels meanwhile).

Sound: While music has had it's pretty faces that glitter underneath the camera lights, it's also had its fair share of wicked stepsisters born in the industry's underworld. Most of them have perished to the hands of radio hits and their addictive nature while others sprout from time to time (see Die Antwoord), creating followings more interested in causing riots than enjoying a night full of good tunes...

The Red Hot Chili Peppers did it, Incubus did it, and with their fifth release, (hed) Planet Earth demonstrate that they too do not know how to quit while they are ahead. Sustained popularity will get you so far, but when the lyrics run dry, the riffs merge into monotony, most artists are able to re-arrange the words horse dead a flogging. Not M.C.U...

The missing element in too many rap-metal bands is hip-hop's sense of bravado and celebration. (Hed) PE -- like Kid Rock -- are the rare rap-metal act willing to admit that good times actually exist. There is no lack of pumped-up aggro and despondency on Broke, the Orange County sextet's second album; "You're so deceiving," sings frontman Jahred grimly on "Pac Bell," "I feel my spirit leaving...

Even within the intentionally brainless world of rap metal, (hed) PE are dumb, dumb, dumb. And by that, we mean dumb-bad. Unblessed with the eccentricity of System of a Down, the tenderness (and fury) of Linkin Park or the snotty bravado of Limp Bizkit, these Huntington Beach, California, fellas take elements of all of the above, slap them together and somehow still end up sounding like uninspired Chili Peppers impersonators...

Like punk? Like hip-hop? Like a dash of metal? (hed) p.e. meshes all
three of these genres into an Ice-T/Bad Brains/Hank Shocklee's Bomb
Squad coalition that'll move your punk boots and groove your hip-hop
butt. This evolution of styles proves to be entertainingly different,
yet familiar enough to attract those seeking authenticity.
Positively aggressive and apropos for those needing angst redemption.
And someone do me a favour and email me the correct pronunciation of
the band's name!
