Ep 244: 30 Years of Maine Hardcore with Chris Linkovich (Terror, Cruel Hand, and more)
In Episode 131 of the podcast, we’re joined by Chad Benekos, founding member and original rhythm guitarist of the band (hed) p.e., to talk 25 years of the band’s debut self-titled album.
This album was a genre-bending masterpiece, which took so many different styles of music and melded them together beautifully. Chad gives us insight into how the band grew into that sound, signing with Jive Records and the record company giving them the freedom to do what they do, as well as many other stories surrounding this time for him and the band. This conversation was 2.5 years in the making for us, and is can’t miss.
