Ill Nino was first formed in 1998 by drummer Dave Chavarri and released their first self-titled EP in 2000. The band gained so much buzz on the NY/NJ metal scene that it scored them heavy rotation with multiples of their songs on Seton Hall University's WSOU Pirate Radio and was quickly signed to Roadrunner Records. On 18 September 2001 Ill Nino released their first full-length album entitled “Revolution Revolucion.” To promote the album, the band set out on tour for nineteen months, hitting the United States, Australia, Japan and Europe.
It wasn’t until 2003 that Ill Nino released their second album, “Confession,” and debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard charts. Again the band set out on tour, embarking on Road Runner’s Road Rage Tour in Europe, followed by a series of headlining performances. Having sold over 500,000 copies of “Confession,” the band followed up with yet another successful album entitled “On Nation Underground” in 2005. Ill Nino then amicably departed from Road Runner Records and in March 2010 the band signed with Victory Records and went into the studio to start recording again. The result was “Dead New World” which was released on 25 October 2010, and went on a headlining tour of Europe, the U.S, Russia and Australia. On 22 July 2014 the band released their seventh album, “Til Death La Familia.”
Formed by frontman Jared Gomes (aka M.C.U.D (MC Underdog)) and guitarist Wes Geer, the two met amidst the Orange County, California, hardcore punk scene. The duo soon recruited the help of guitarist Chizad, bassist Mawk and drummers B.C. Caught and DJ Product © 1969 and named themselves ‘Hed’, short for Higher Education. Soon after changing their name to (Hed) P.E. for legal reasons.
Before long, the group had built a devoted following; known for their aggressive and energetic live shows, they signed with Jive Records, and released their eponymously-titled debut in 1997. The album highlighted the strong punk, metal and rap influences including the likes of the Beastie Boys, Black Sabbath and Rage Against the Machine, however the album performed poorly in the charts and led to the band owing Jive Records a considerable amount of money.
(Hed) P.E. released their second studio album “Broke” in August 2000, following an guest appearance on the Black Sabbath tribute album “Nativity in Black II” where they covered the single “Sabbra Cadabra”. Following the release (Hed) P.E. embarked on the U.S. Ozzfest tour alongside the likes of Korn and Systems of a Down. The release of the band’s subsequent album “Blackout” (2003) marked a change of label and personnel for the band, with a move away from Jive to Koch Records and welcoming guitarist Jaxon and drummer Moke to the mix.
The band’s fourth album “Only in Amerika” released in 2004 reached No. 186 on the Billboard 200, compared to No. 33 for the album’s predecessor. In 2006 (Hed) P.E. signed with Suburban Noize Records through which they release their fifth studio album “Back 2 Base X”, which focused on actual instrumentation as opposed to digital and studio enhancements. Similar to “Only in Amerika” the album’s political commentary gets lost in the overly aggressive and offensive nature of the lyrics. Subsequently the band has released the albums “Insomnia” in 2007, “The D.I.Y. Guys” in 2008, “New World Orphans” in 2009, “Truth Rising” in 2010, and “Evolution” in 2014.
Ill Niño is a band that has a very unique sound. They have stayed true to not only their heritage but also their musical style. Although, Ill Niño hails from New Jersey the members of the band are of Latin/Spanish Heritage. They are one of the only bands I know that has 2 drummers or a drummer and a percussionist I should say. :) That adds tremendously to the Latin feel of their music and to the appeal of their Live Show.
Although they've had a few line up changes across the many years they've been a group, they've Always Delivered the Show of a Lifetime each and every time. They always leave their hearts and souls on stage each and every time. You can expect an extremely high energy show as well as the True Genuineness that shines through. It is evident that they LOVE what they do and they do it very well. I've NEVER Once been disappointed by their show or them as people. They are Very Very Gracious and Caring toward their fans which is something I truly admire.
In my opinion, all the members of Ill Niño are Professional, Hardworking, Talented, Kind, Humble, Down to Earth, REAL, Genuine Individuals. They've withstood the test of time and all the Drastic changes that have occurred in the Music Industry since the conception and forming of Ill Niño. If and When you ever get a change to go see them LIVE I Highly Recommend It! It will be worth every penny. As well as buying every CD they've ever made would be money Extraordinarily Well Spent. :D Thanks for allowing me to write this review and I hope it is all you expected and hoped for in me sharing my thoughts and feelings about Ill Niño. It is an honor. \m/ ~Sincerely, Evie Star

Californian rap-metallers (Hed) P.E. have always suffered a tough time in the UK music press, particularly when it’s debated how they’ve managed to sustain a 20 year career with eight studio albums. The simple truth is that they make a distinctive fusion of hip hop, punk and metal; instead of the wave of nu-metal bands that simply featured token rapping, (Hed) P.E. actually feature an able rapper-MC and a sample-laden sound that feeds off Gangsta rap.
I actually saw them in their home county of California years ago, when they were touring their third and biggest album, Blackout. They were really, really enjoyable, with frontman Jared Gomes – then known as M.C.U.D. – charismatically roaming the stage, moshing when he was screaming and shouting, and bouncing when he was spitting his rhymes. The riffs were crunchy and the DJ added silly but effective scratching, as well as growled backing vocals.
I couldn’t have asked for a better setlist, with the band unleashing the best cuts from my favourite album, Broke, such as ‘Killing Time’ and ‘Feel Good’, as well as a throwback to their hardcore punk beginnings with ‘Firsty’ from their self-titled debut. Best of all was the title track from Blackout, which had everyone screaming the chorus. In my humble opinion, (Hed) P.E. are one of the more underrated bands to emerge from the nu-metal scene around the turn of the millennium.
