Alternative/Grunge rockers HCE will invade the U.S.
HCE Releases ECHOLAND MARCH 24TH ON REVERSED RECORDS
"Grunge lives on for HCE, but these guys have warped Kurt's canon into something wilder, adding artistic flourishes and bending genres to set the music apart from the work of 1,000 shitty bands."
–Uptown Magazine
HOLLYWOOD, CA (February 4, 2009) – HCE delivers to the U.S. a cutting edge originality titled ECHOLAND which will release on Reversed Records March 24th, 2009.
HCE is a trio based in Winnipeg, Canada, featuring Matt Laberge (vocals/guitar) Matthew Powers (drums/vocals) and Roger Arsenault (bass/vocals). With an extremely wide range of musical influences, HCE arrived somewhere between Melvins and Pixies; heavy, noisy and experimental, yet catchy and memorable. The group was founded in 1998 by Laberge and Powers.
The critically acclaimed ECHOLAND was originally released in Canada and was very well received by college radio. The album charted in the top ten albums of the year on Canadian college radio stations. ECHOLAND also caught the attention the film industry with the song Blue Chairs to be featured in an up and coming film by English writer/director Christian Piers Betley (Pale Faces and Stranger Looks, Harry) – the film is titled "Rampage".
HCE has also strengthened their online presence and fan interaction with HCE TV, a series of web-shorts featuring absurd skit comedy, tour silliness and updates from the band. The self-produced music video for the single Satire is set for release in April 2009.
Known for their unpredictable performances, HCE are at home on stage and know how to give the crowd a show to remember. They have a contagious energy that never fails to leave a scar on their audience.
