Head Hits Concrete is a political grindcore ensemble originating from Winnipeg, Canada, established in April 1999. From their inception until 2004, the group issued a cassette demo, three EPs, and collaborative split releases with My Minds Mine and Bodies Lay Broken. Following a prolonged break beginning in 2004,[1][2] they reunited for a performance alongside Brutal Truth in 2010. Since this reunion, their activity has been intermittent, including touring and the release of the Hollowed Out Human Husk EP through Mercy of Slumber Records in March 2013.
Prior to their hiatus, Head Hits Concrete frequently played shows throughout Winnipeg, notably participating in the yearly extreme music event Arsonfest. They also completed tours across Canada and the United States with Fuck the Facts. After concluding their western Canadian tour in 2004, band members engaged in various other musical ventures such as Prague (Bunio, Boychuk), Putrescence (Alexander), Kursk (Skibinsky), Wolbachia (Skibinsky), Big Trouble in Little China (Bunio, Byckal), and L'viv (Boychuk), each differing in levels of activity.
