History Music / HedPE

(həd) Planet Earth is a PunkRock band from Huntington Beach, California. Their style of music, dubbed "[[PunkRap G-Punk]]", draws mainly from PunkRock and HipHop, touching upon HardcorePunk, Reggae, and occasionally {{Funk}}, {{Jazz}} and HeavyMetal.

* PunkRap

* HarshVocals: Aside his occasional [[GutturalGrowler growling]], he sometimes performs bluesier harsh singing.

* {{Juggalo}}: Jaxon has the [[Creator/PsychopathicRecords Hatchetman]] painted onto his guitar, and the entire band has performed in face paint; although Jared had performed in face paint since the band's debut, the entire band had not.

* TribalFacePaint: Often worn by Jared since the band's formation, this has recently extended to the rest of the band, especially when playing for {{Juggalo}} audiences, and comes into play heavily on some music videos, like "Here And Now".

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: It's not unusual for Hed PE to begin a song with a HardcorePunk lead, switch to rapping over a HipHop beat, then jump into another style.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Every album contains a somewhat different sound, in addition to their general GenreRoulette. For example, ''New World Orphans'' focuses heavily on the band's HardcorePunk influences, and ''Truth Rising'' focuses more on the band's HeavyMetal influences.

* '''Mawk''' (Mark Young): Bass (founding member)
* '''Jaxon''' (Jackson Lee Benge): Guitar (since 2004)

[[caption-width-right:200:The band's line-up is [[RevolvingDoorBand not the same as when they started]]. In fact, the line-up might change by the time you finish reading this.]]

* ShoutOut: The animated music video for "Truth Rising" briefly features a figure that strongly resembles the [[PsychopathicRecords Hatchetman]].

Their lyrical subject matter is quite diverse, ranging from some of the more frivolous subject matter of GangstaRap (pot smoking, sex, etc.) to more political topics. Vocalist Jared is also heavily interested in conspiracy theories, like government cover-up of alien life, the Illuminati, etc.; because of this, Hed PE is often overlooked or downright condemned, despite the diversity of their music. [[YourMileageMayVary Mileage especially varies]] for their most recent albums.

* PoliticalRap
