Hedpe – The Sandmine Tour Diary featuring Dropout Kings (Episode 1)

From Suburban Noize Records:

“(HED) P.E. have kicked off their headlining tour with support from Dropout Kings dubbed The Sandmine Tour. (HED) P.E. have officially released their “Sandmine” EP” across all digital platforms today via Suburban Noize Records. Sandmine was recorded by (HED) P.E. frontman Jared Gomes with producer/songwriter Remy Dovianus. Dovianus has been a lifelong (HED) P.E. fan and recorded the guitar and bass in The Netherlands with a goal of harnessing the signature sound of the band’s biggest albums. Drummer Jeremiah “Trauma” Stratton laid down his drums with an emphasis, complimenting the deep metallic grooves created by Dovianus. Gomes is ever defiant and at the top of his game on “Sandmine”. The entire project draws inspiration from the raw aggression of Suicidal Tendencies and Rage Against The Machine, and mixes it with the unfiltered hardcore tones of Hatebreed. “Sandmine” encapsulates the old thrashiness and ferocity of early (Hed) P.E albums, weaving together a complex mixture of poignant punk-rock, brutal riffs, and bludgeoning drums that pack a walloping punch. The Sandmine Tour also marks the first time (HED) P.E. will perform tracks off their critically acclaimed twelfth-studio, “Class of 2020”, which was released last year during the middle of the pandemic. (HED) P.E. are the pioneers of the G-Punk sound, which fuses together punk-rock, metal, hip-hop and reggae. For over two decades, the band has toured the world alongside hard rock chart-toppers like Papa Roach and Linkin Park, hardcore legends like Suicidal Tendencies, and participated in the iconic “Ozzfest Tour”. (HED) P.E. experienced a creative resurgence after signing with Suburban Noize Records in the early 2000s and was instrumental in developing the booming underground scene.”
