Mushroomhead & (Hed)pe to hit the road for six weeks

(Hed)pe and Mushroomhead have announced they will join forces with American Head Charge, Corvus, and Tenafly Viper for the “Hed2Head” co-headlining tour. The tour will kick off April 19th in Bloomington, IL and run for six week across the entire country.
 
“2012 is here and (Hed)p.e has a new set and a new attitude that we are stoked to unleash on the third annual Hed2Head tour,” commented Jahred. “Hed2Head has turned out to be our favorite and biggest tour of the year, and we have become close friends with Jeffrey Nothing and the guys in Mushroomhead. This year we are trying to include even more markets, so fans can catch this tour. I can’t wait to get out there and start tearing stages up!” 
 
“It’s amazing what you can accomplish when it doesn’t matter who gets all the credit. The strength of this wolf is in the pack,” commented Skinny from Mushroomhead. “We’ve toured with (Hed)p.e. a couple times and each time the shows get bigger and better. Both bands put on an explosive live show and we’re constantly pushing each other to make the show even more insane to make it the best possible ticket for the fans hard earned money.”
 
“We’re stoked to be hitting the road with Mushroomhead and (Hed)p.e. on this tour,” added American Head Charge bassist Chad Hanks. “We’ve been away for a while and this tour is the perfect way for us to get back in front of many of our hardcore fans and it gives us a chance to make new fans along the way.”
 
(Hed)p.e are touring in support of their eighth studio album “Truth Rising”, which saw the group become the voice for a movement that empowers youth and reveals the seedy underbelly of our current political affairs. (Hed)p.e’s video for the track “It’s All Over” can be seen online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKZ5T_65CJs&feature=channel_video_title. (Hed)p.e are currently working on a new studio album for release in late 2012.
 
Mushroomhead are touring in support of their brand new seventh studio album “Beautiful Stories For Ugly Children”.  As one of the leaders of the alterna-metal movement, the band’s extreme performance style has garnered them an enormously devoted cult following and its cornucopian sound — a forceful yet melodic, underground yet accessible merging of hard rock, heavy metal, hardcore punk, industrial and soundtrack-worthy ambience – has seen it move upwards of one million albums worldwide.
