Heck Tate

About Me

Heck Tate are a five piece band from London. Formed in 2007, they take the contrariness of 70s prog, the energy of 80s hardcore, the big riffing of 90s metal, and the legitimacy of 00s pop, and put it all together to form one pretentious bio.

They are regular performers on the London live circuit, and whatever provincial towns will have them, with a live show that has drawn such glowing comments as "high octane alt-metal", "pure energy" and "you've got one more song then we're cutting the power".

Heck Tate was a good man who did bad things. We like to think we are bad men doing good things.
