New single from hed pe. Isn't off their latest album. Not sure if it's just a standalone single or if it is planned for an upcoming album, but is getting played on Active. Is definitley as good as "Renegade".

Hed is a guilty pleasure for me at this point. I think the band itself has a lot of musicianship and skill behind them and Jahred does have a pretty good flow and isn't afraid to try variety in his vocals, even if his lyrics do tend to veer either toward half-assed political diatribe or full-assed misogyny nowadays.
I'm surprised they haven't released "Stay Ready" as a single for their new album yet at all. "Renegade" was good but there are certainly a couple more tracks that could be lifted for radio purposes. I'm doubly surprised they're releasing a stand-alone single, and wonder what it's for. I mean, New World Orphans came out this year. They can't be planning a new one already.

Yeah, I do quite enjoy this bands work, but they seem to have dipped into a bit of a rut. I don't think they'll see much more success on radio. They will however be remembered as one of the better, more original bands of the "nu-metal" era.

I would view the front runners as bands such as Deftones, Disturbed, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Papa Roach, POD, Slipknot, etc. Hed Pe are probably better off considered a step below that alongside bands such as Adema, Coal Chamber, Sevendust, Static-X & Taproot. |

I meant to convey "originators," or "pioneers," or a description of that nature. Deftones, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Coal Chamber and Sevendust all belong, as well. |

Ah right. Well, I don't really view them as "pioneers". Korn & Deftones, yes. Bands like Hed Pe, Coal Chamber, Limp Bizkit & Sevendust came around shortly after. Around post-'97 to be precise.
