Hetta

Hetta are a Portuguese post-hardcore band operating in the tense space between chaos and control, urgency and melody. Emerging from Montijo, just across the river from Lisbon, they quickly became a fixture of the national scene through fiercely kinetic live performances, relentless touring across the Iberian Peninsula, UK, and Italy, and a body of work that sharpens hardcore’s physical impact into something restless and emotionally charged—helping reignite screamo, post-hardcore, and noise rock in Portugal after years of relative dormancy.

Having played 100+ shows (around 30 internationally) and favoring momentum over excess and intensity over virtuosity, Hetta channel the raw discipline of post-hardcore into tightly constructed songs that hit fast and linger long after. Their debut full-length Acetate captures a band in full command of its language, balancing abrasion with clarity and immediacy with depth.
