**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, affectionately coined as “G-Punk.” If you have not experienced **HED P.E.** live, you can expect pounding riffage, solid grooves and funk infused rhythms all laced by the flow, melody and cadence of frontman, **Jahred Gomes.**  
  
Many bands three decades into their career would be happy to tread the boards and play for the nostalgia, 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 bands fans know and adore.  
  
Gomes says of the record; “*Detox embarks on a spiritual journey from a state of chemical enslavement to self-liberation, and then, ironically, back again. I composed this from an intimately personal standpoint, as I grappled with addiction throughout my life. On this album, I’m unapologetically candid, addressing topics such as sexuality, substance use, and a hardcore lifestyle. I’ve incorporated more rap elements, and the music is notably heavier and thrash-oriented. I discovered the inspiration to delve into some gritty subjects. This album truly grants the audience what they’ve longed for, without compromising artistic integrity.*”

On this highly anticipated tour, **HED P.E.** will be delivering an unforgettable assault on the senses, tearing through both nations with stops in every capital city.
