Hed P.E. came out of Huntington Beach, California, in 1994, and while they got lumped in with the nu metal crowd, they never sounded quite like anyone else. They called their brew "G-punk", a head-on collision of gangsta rap and punk rock, and they had a habit of sliding into reggae grooves just when you expected another breakdown. M.C.U.D. did the rapping and hollering up front, Mawk held down the bass, and Wes Geer and Chad Benekos supplied the grinding guitars.
Broke, in 2000, was their big push on Jive Records, and "Bartender" was the song that got them onto rock radio, a bruising, lurching stomp. "Killing Time" came from the same record, and Blackout followed in 2003 with its title track and "Otherside".
After three albums with Jive they went independent, signing with Suburban Noize from 2006 to 2010 and with Pavement Music since 2014. They have kept up a relentless pace, with sixteen studio albums and more than 700,000 records sold worldwide.
