An interview with the amazing guitarist, Jackson of (hed) P.E.

May 21, 2014

We recently brought you our coverage from the Born To Ride 2 Tour with SOiL and (hed) P.E. Both bands were amazing and make sure you check out all our coverage on them. (hed) P.E. is really one of the most energetic bands out there today. If you asked five different people what type of music (hed) P.E. is, you just might end up with five very different answers. There is something so special about this band because making the music they want to hear and making what feels right is exactly what they do. They do not try and re-invent themselves or make carbon copy sound alike albums. Their creativity shines through each of their varied styles of music through songs. The styles may range from rasta, punk, reggae, soul, rap, rock, metal, and so much more. One thing is for sure, their music is definitely one that is deserving of your attention. Their set was intense as the audience was literally in a non stop mosh pit from start to finish. What a great night! We had the opportunity [Read More]
