Kicking Old Habits With JAHRED GOMES From HED P.E.

Kicking Old Habits With JAHRED GOMES From HED P.E.

Fresh off a relentless touring schedule across the United States and Europe, HED PE are ready to conquer Australia once again and, for the first time since 2018, New Zealand.
HED P.E. has been a cornerstone in the rock and metal scene, captivating audiences with their unique blend of rock, punk, rasta, gangsta rap, and soul. Many bands three decades into their career would be happy to tread the boards and play for the nostalgia, but not HED P.E. Their most recent and incredibly 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 the G-Punk sound that the band's fans know and adore.
HEAVY sat down with frontman Jahred Gomes on the eve of the tour.
Jahred described HED P.E's live performances as a journey that incorporates various musical styles, including hardcore, punk, reggae, and hip-hop, and reflected on the positive reception of the album and their recent UK tour.
He emphasized the importance of creating new music and touring, despite industry challenges, and acknowledged the band's ability to connect with diverse audiences. He confirmed that a secret record is in the works, which will be announced soon, plus reminisced about the early days of HED P.E. and how they have changed as a band over the course of their career and plenty more.
