Biography

Hawthorne Heights was formed from big dreams – its members wanted to play music they were passionate about and take a shot at being a full time band. Signing to Victory Records in November 2003 was the first step towards realizing their goal of playing music for a living. Fast Forward to June 2005: their debut album, “The Silence In Black And White,” has been out for a year and it has sold more than 325,000 copies, heading rapidly towards a gold certification. The band has done national television, appeared on the covers of magazines like Alternative Press and AMP, and they have sold out venues across the country. Hawthorne Heights and Victory Records released a deluxe re-issue of their debut album, literally jam-packed with interviews, performances and other extras on June 14th – almost a year to the day of its original release. Forming in Dayton, OH in June of 2001 under the name “A Day In The Life”, the band decided to rename their previous musical endeavor due to lineup changes and evolving musical styles. With the final lineup in place, Hawthorne Heights began playing out on several national self-booked tours, sharing stages with bands like Descendents, From Autumn To Ashes and Coheed And Cambria. In November, 2004, Victory Records’ President, Tony Brummel, is doing his usual Saturday morning demo listening and plays the Hawthorne Heights CD. He is sold on the band immediately, as is the rest of the Victory staff, and the Hawthorne Heights boys drive from Dayton to Chicago to showcase for the label. They signed a deal with Victory shortly thereafter. Hawthorne Heights recorded “The Silence In Black And White” over four weeks in Madison, WI at Smart Studios and in Chicago, IL at Big Gold Studios with Dan Duszynski and Sean O’Keefe (Fall Out Boy, Spitalfield) in February and March of 2004. “The recording process this time around was an experience within itself. We got to take our time and experiment a lot more than we’ve been used to in the past. Sonically, this record is such a step up from anything else we’ve done. We are very proud of the finished product”, commented Eron Bucciarelli (drums). “The Silence In Black And White” contains songs of frustration, personal growth and evolution. Musically, it tests the limitations of the “post-hardcore” and “screamo” music genres, adding deeper and darker subtleties. Influenced by bands that range from Led Zeppelin to Quicksand to Nirvana and Shades Apart, Hawthorne Heights’s brand of radiant and fiery post-hardcore is expansive yet more focused than the efforts of other bands they will be categorized with. Their triple guitar attack alone sets them apart from the rest. “With JT, Casey and Micah all playing guitar, we can add a lot of layering effects and intricacies to our music along with legitimately pulling in different musical styles”, said Eron. “To us, ‘The Silence In Black And White’ is the perfect melting pot of all of our different musical tastes.” Upon release, the album broke the Victory record for highest selling debut album, beating Taking Back Sunday with a first week of 3,458 sold. As the industry paused and took notice of this previously unknown band, they hit the road, opening for label mates Silverstein, followed by MEST. Their first headlining run was very successful, so the next move was to accept a spot on the highly regarded Take Action Tour ’05 with Sugarcult. The record continued to sell in leaps and bounds, blowing away expectations no matter how highly placed. AOL Sessions came calling, and Hawthorne Heights joined legends like Green Day and Robert Smith in their catalog. MTV added their first single, “Ohio Is For Lovers” into rotation, and the sleeping dinosaur that is Alternative radio slowly began to stir, with stations across the country supporting the single. By the summer of 2005, the band began filming the video for their next single, “Niki FM” – an homage to the 80’s cult movie, “Say Anything”. With just days to spare they joined Warped Tour for the rest of the summer. The band will kick off a headlining tour of North America and the United Kingdom this fall and begin recording the follow up to their incredibly successful debut. Not only have their dreams been fulfilled and then some, but Hawthorne Heights are poised to join rock’s perennial acts, touring and releasing records for the foreseeable future.

I'm not really into the whole screamo thing but when i heard Hawthorne Heights I was mesmorized by them. Their music is great. I think every one should give them a listen	trashkanzrevil
Damn you all fucking rock!	lost_in_my-mind
wooo hoooo screamo is shit tastic!	i_heart_emo_boys187
Yeah screamo is the shit. I just bought their CD and they sound like they ripped off Thursday, which is not totally a bad thing because Thursday kicks ass.	bandchick
and how is that?!?!?! thursday sucks ass	i_heart_emo_boys187
Oh fuck no! Thursday kicks SO much ass compared to these rip off's! I like HH, but they are no where near as good as Thursday. They dont know how to scream, it just doesnt flow with the music.	bandchick
yeah hawthorne heights is preatty good and they are from ohio so i have to rep not nearly as good as thursday thursday rules how can you say thursday sucks and like simple plan and GC whats your problem are you hearing the same music as me?	paintfreak181
THANK YOU, thats what ive been trying to tell this i heart emo boys chick!!!!!! Fucking Teenie boppers.	bandchick

i like simple plan does that make me a tennie bopper	KREWZERO
I was introduced to Hawthorne Heights by one of my college mates only a week ago. I think their great! Their music relates so much to my thoughts sometimes. I now just have to go and purchase the cd (or 'borrow' it from a mate! Lol!)	Mist
wow i got the cd and it is amaazing. i am very impressed.	xxMusicGurlxx
Too rite...its a bril cd!	Mist
im seeing them in feb. with sugarcult!!!!!!!!!	i_heart_emo_boys187
Ok, as much as I love Thursday there is no doubt in my mind that I prefer Hawthorne Heights. Their lyrics are better put together and how can you say that their screaming "doesnt flow with the music?" Thats about retarded. Anyhoo...screamo IS the shit and you people should be ashamed of yourselves for downing Hawthorne Heights and ganging up on a poor emo boy lover. Ohio is for lovers bitches. Remember that and everyone shall be content. - Candace	RainbowsAreRad
I'm sorry, but on "The Transition," about two minutes 40 seconds in, listen to his fuckign screaming, it sounds like he's got flem in the back of his throat, it SUCKS so bad. Other than that yeah they're pretty good.	bandchick
The screaming adds the effect to the song. Without it the lyrics wouldn't have the same effect. Well that's just my opinion anyway.	Mist
candace you speak the truth!!! bandslut ...std girl...dont speak your dumb!	i_HEART_emo_boys187
Um...I wasnt saying that they should get rid of it all together dumbasses. I just said the guy who screams sucks. Goddamn bite my fucking head off.	bandchick
hes the best fucking screamer out of any band lets hear you fucking scream bitch	i_heart_emo_boys187
Whatever, that's just my opinion.	bandchick
wow dont i feel like a fucking idiot coming here aren't forums supposed to be for people to enjoy a band and talk about their concert experiences and how much they like them? i hate that HH is slowing going mainsteam. RIGHT ON HH! but fuck, would the stupid kids who bash bands to be cool enough to shutup... please? i've listened to them since before the cd came out so i think i have the right to say that i'm a true fan. i love these guys, and they're amazing live. just listen to the music, not all of it is supposed to be directed to one type of crowd. all of my metal friends like them and my emo friends too. i got a lot of people hooked on Hawthorne Heights because they're just plain good. if you don't like a band or something about them, whether it be the way they write their lyrics or the way they sing them it DOESNT MATTER! i agree with that Candice girl. ohio is for lovers! Aren't true fans, or even Hawthorne Heights admirers supposed to agree? geez, now i'm all worked up. all in all im just trying to say that HH rocks major ass! oh yes, before i go...about the whole thursday thing. who cares if you think HH is better or worse than them, or if you think they just suck. I know I dont give a shit, why would anyone else? this place isn't here to start internet disputes. just get along for christ sakes.	dearxblackxgoodbye
wow thank you! someone on here is smart!	i_heart_emo_boys187
Come on lets not kill Thursday guys.	lost_in_my-mind

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111!!!!!!!	i_heart_EMO_boys187
Yes well, you guys say don't come to forum if your not a fan, but all your going to do is "HH kicks ass" "YEAH!!" so I'll just throw some conflict in. I think Hawthorne Heights is generic and overrated.	OnToMorningStars
Oh oh, and they are mos def not screamo. Just because they have someone scream a few times in the backgroud or in the chorus, does not make them screamo.	OnToMorningStars
what a jerk!!!! of course we are going to say good things about them...this thing is for fans!!! DUMBA** WTF!!! Gosh	hawthornefan08
I realize your going to say good things aboot them but threads easily die when its just people saying, "Yeah, I like them, they're vocals are good, I like the lyrics" "yeah I totally agree" and forums are for stating opinions so thats what I'm gonna do.	OnToMorningStars
Alright, I'm not the biggest fan of 'screamo' but Hawthorne Heights is definitly one of my favourite bands. Not the biggest fan of Thursday as I see many of you were having this big discussion on it, but I will say that Thursday is better than stuff like Good Charlotte and Simpleplan as many of you were using as examples. And there is no reason to get all up in people's faces "I love emo boys", people get touchy about music but you're just trying to hard.	the_second_estate
Was that implying that Hawthorne Heights is screamo?	OnToMorningStars
Who cares if they are screamo or whatever you want to call it. They have a great sound and so does Thursday. Both their performances are very dynamic bringing in some great highs and lows.	indierawk
yeesh	SiMpLePlAnLoVeR13
good saying indie	i_heart_emo_boys187
Ok they "have a great sound" that a shit load of other bands have and everytime you hear a band like them, you dislike their "great sound" even more.	OnToMorningStars
just went to their concert late nite(take action) and it was awesome they were soo good and th eguys were super nice	SiMpLePlAnLoVeR13
they are an awsome band and their cd rox	theusedslave
= )	i_heart_emo_boys187
They are good but i like Taking Back Sunday Better...	no-name
ok i'm not really listening to hawthorne heights right now but i was wondering if any one of you guys can explain to me what "nikki fm" means like what the lyrics mean because this kid i know said he dedicates that song to me and i want to know if that is good or bad and what the lyrics mean to you guys	mxprincess
I looove hawthorne heights... and I get to go see them in July. And I'm fron their home state. =3	X_I_heart_emo_boys_X
dont get all pissed at me but i think they suck horribly.their singer sucks and so does their music	PigBenis
Yes, I agree	FallisFinallyDead
I agree also. They suck.	Passionate_Blosson
Fuck Hawthorne Heights. The song should be called ohio is for fags. Life isnt that bad u fucking pansy. this band blows ass. i laughed my ass off when i heard ohio is for lovers(especially when that fag started screaming). HH is the most pathetic imitation of a band i have ever heard. break up ur littly pansy band and go slit ur rist somewhere else and quit whining fags.	Stoner5223
My votes are for you, Stoner.	Passionate_Blosson
