(HED)PE Releases Secret Message To Fans
Leading into the release of (Hed)pe's new studio
album "New World
Orphans (NWO)", the band has released
the first in a series of secret
messages to fans through www.NewWorldOrphans.com.The
band's
new album will be released with 3 different variant
covers with each
version containing part of a hidden message that
when pieced together
will allow fans to communicate directly with the
band during the
upcoming New World Orphans Tour in January. The first
secret
message listed below was leaked to fans who pre-ordered the
group's new album:
"(Orphans) take notice to the artwork of all three versions of the new CD you put them together and there is a hidden message for us. The (encrypted) message is for Orphans only and not to be spread out side of the (underground). The masses are not ready for the (message). Please contain it. More (info) shortly."
"Well, we want to give our listeners more
than music," commented
frontman Jared Gomes about the encrypted
messages in the group's
new album. "We want to offer
the youth some interactive experiences,
and we respect the fact that
the youth are more than a bunch of crying,
lost little
consumers. They want and expect more than mindless
entertainment from Hedpe".
"New World Orphans", which hits stores Jan 13th, 2009 through Suburban Noize Records, will be released in 3 different versions with each featuring a variant cover and four exclusive bonus tracks. Undoubtedly their most intensely political album, "New World Orphans" shows the band blending together a potent mixture of heavy, thrash riffs mixed with punk-rock and hip-hop beats into one intoxicating package. Joining the fight is Strange Music's Tech N9ne who appears on the track "Work" (a song that tackles the media's perceptions of sex), California rip-hop hybrids Kottonmouth Kings roll up on "Higher Ground", while Oregon's king of rapid-fire rhyme The Dirtball urges listeners to prepare for battle on "Stay Ready."
"Listen, we come from the land of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. And that still has its place in the world and we haven't turned our back on what we were, or said in the past," says Jared. "But take a look at the world around you. We did. We woke up one day and said to ourselves something isn't right. We analyzed it individually and as a band, and decided it was time to wake America's youth up!"
