Together since 2001, Hawthorne Heights achieved major success with their first two LP’s (2004’s “The Silence in Black and White” and 2006’s “If Only You Were Lonely”) reaching Gold certification. Their second LP peaked at number 1 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart and hit #3 on the Top 200 chart. With strong radio support and MTV behind them, the band catapulted to national recognition allowing them to cultivate a diehard fan base that has stuck with them through various and well-documented ups and downs.
Hawthorne Heights’ latest EP 'Hope' (the second in a three-part trilogy that began last year with 'Hate') is out now via their label Cardboard Empire Records.
