Head Hits Concrete is a Canadian political grindcore band that formed in April 1999 in Winnipeg. Between 1999 and 2004 the band recorded a cassette demo, 3 EPs and split records with My Minds Mine and Bodies Lay Broken. Head Hits Concrete went on extended hiatus in 2004, but reformed for a show with Brutal Truth in 2010. The band has toured briefly since that date, and is currently writing new material towards a split LP with Mudlark for a release in 2011.
Prior to going on hiatus, Head Hits Concrete played numerous shows in Winnipeg, including annual extreme music festival Arsonfest, and embarked on one American and one Canadian tour with Fuck the Facts. The band collectively decided to pursue other projects after returning from their western Canadian tour in 2004. Those projects include instrumentalists Prague (Bunio, Boychuk), Putrescence (Alexander), Kursk (currently defunct-Skibinsky), Wolbachia (Skibinsky), Big Trouble In Little China (Bunio, original guitarist Byckal) and L'viv (Boychuk). Aside from Kursk, all of these projects are currently active in some capacity.

“Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things—wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete ... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.”
