While California-based hardcore pioneers (hed)p.e. have enjoyed successful albums, and even registered a Top 30 Modern Rock single, they are now 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 isn’t it? Answers.”

“When I first started making records, I was mostly writing party music, and some subject matter with social commentary,” says frontman Jared, referring to his formative years in the music industry. “I never dreamt that I would one day be in a band that actually has a divine purpose.”

The purpose to which Jared refers is what is commonly referred to as “The Truth Movement.”
“Now that (hed)p.e. has developed mentally and spiritually into what we are today, we find that the underground youth are rallying around us. (hed)p.e. is focused and crystal clear. It feels special to be involved in a band that actually stands for something. Cuz like they say ‘if you don’t stand for something – you’ll fall for anything!!!’”

“Listen, we come from the land of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. And that still has its place in the world and we haven’t turned our back on what we were, or said in the past. But take a look at the world around you. We did. We woke up one day and said to ourselves something isn’t right. We analyzed it individually and as a band, and decided it was time to wake America’s youth up!!” (Read the entire bio)
