If aliens landed on Earth and made a hip-hop album, it might sound like... The HEARD has been shocking Chicago audiences with their explosive sound and has proven to be one of the most ground-breaking acts on the local music scene. The other-worldly sound of their debut album Genesis, dubbed Electro-Alien-Hip Hop, derives from a bold and unique blend of Hip Hop, Funk, Electro and Reggae. The concept for the album was inspired by the group's vision of a high energy sound that transcends traditional genres and channels the future of music. Recently signed by DC Jam Records, The Heard will be embarking on their first tour this October. Word Absurd, Irekdis, Fable, G-Irth, MCS and Siren control the powerful empire known as The Heard. Word Absurd lives inside a forest filled with cats where he prepares sounds to be recorded upon elegant equipment. His influence has passed through multitudes of Chicago acts with inpalpable rhyming and raucous percussion. Irekdis splits heads with axe dropping lyrics and time altering compositions utilizing stringed and banged equipment. Fable isn't real. His rhyming style is outlandish and not yet understood. G-Irth has wide scope vision and vocal precision, though he has been Irth bound for years. We all need G, and we need Irth. MCS delivers caress while she invests the best into a army of steel chests. No other mother could discover what MCS has buried asunder. A rhyming delight for the whole of the night. Siren is a super stellar space singer stealing your soul with sexual subwoofers.
