"A lot of bands say their s*** 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 frontman Jared Gomes. "Our live shows are raw and explosiveďż˝ Everything just is raw. When we play microphones might get unplugged or the guitars may go out of tune, but (Hed)pe is raw and unapologetic rock n' roll."
(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 decade-long tour history.
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. The group's latest studio album, "Insomnia" debuted at #138 on the Billboard Top 200, with the album's lead single "Suffa" becoming of the most requested tracks at Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack.
