Hawthorne Heights
Hawthorne Heights is an American rock band formed in Dayton, Ohio in 2001. Originally called A Day in the Life, their lineup consists of JT Woodruff (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Matt Ridenour (bass, backing vocals), and Mark McMillon (lead guitar, unclean vocals).
The band had commercial success with their first two albums, The Silence in Black and White (2004), and If Only You Were Lonely (2006), both achieving RIAA gold certification. Their second album peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. They are also well known for their 2006 single, "Saying Sorry", which reached gold status and reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. On November 24, 2007, rhythm guitarist and unclean vocalist Casey Calvert (son of Greg Calvert of Gary and the Hornets) died, leaving the band a four-piece. Their third album and first without Calvert, Fragile Future, was released in August 2008, surprisingly through Victory Records again, after a lengthy legal battle between the two parties.
The band's fourth album, Skeletons (2010), was No. 50 on the Billboard 200. The band's former label, Victory, released their first greatest hits album, entitled Midwesterners: The Hits, in November 2010. Shortly afterward, Hawthorne Heights left Wind-up Records to begin their own record label, Cardboard Empire. Via their label, the band released an EP trilogy, beginning with Hate, released in August 2011, followed by Hope in June 2012. After signing with Red River Entertainment in 2013, the band postponed the release of the third EP in the trilogy and released a full-length concept album titled Zero, in June 2013. Hawthorne Heights played on the 2013 Vans Warped Tour.
In June 2014, original drummer Eron Bucciarelli left the band. In January 2015, it was announced that original lead guitarist Micah Carli had also quit. Later in 2014, the band released Hurt, the third EP of the trilogy. The band's sixth studio album, Bad Frequencies, followed in 2018 and then their seventh album, The Rain Just Follows Me, in September 2021 via Pure Noise Records.
A Day in the Life were formed by JT Woodruff, Jesse Blair, Andy Saunders, Josh Bethel, and Andy Lazier in Dayton, Ohio in 2001. They took their name from "A Day in the Life", a popular song by the Beatles. Their first record was a demo titled Four Bullets for One Girl, which sold its 500 copy run in two months. That brought them to the attention of Confined Records, with which they released an album, Nine Reasons to Say Goodbye. Finally, they released a 6-song EP titled Paper Chromatography: The Fade from Dark to Light (which was partially re-released as part of the compilation From Ohio With Love) in the winter of 2003.
After some mild success the entire band quit except for JT, who decided to continue the band with new members and changed the band name. In 2003, Matt Ridenour, bassist and backing vocalist, passed a hotel called Hawthorn Inn & Suites on his way to work. He decided to add an e and Heights to make Hawthorne Heights. The rest of the band agreed.
Their first album The Silence in Black and White, was recorded over a four-week period and released in 2004. The album was slow to build sales at first; however, soon the video for the song "Ohio Is for Lovers" began getting airplay on MTV, and the band enjoyed breakout success at radio as well as a growing nationwide fan base. The album became Victory Records' highest selling debut. The Silence in Black and White peaked at No. 56 on Billboard. The singles "Niki FM" and "Silver Bullet" were released in 2005.
When their second album If Only You Were Lonely was released on February 28, 2006, it debuted at No. 3 on Billboard, powered by the lead single "Saying Sorry" which received regular airplay on MTV, VH1, and Fuse. The Legion of Doom remixed a song from the album, entitled "Where Can I Stab Myself in the Ears?" and it appeared on the Underworld: Evolution Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The remix was re-titled "Where Do I Stab Myself in the Ears". The band performed on the 2006 Nintendo Fusion Tour. A live CD/DVD was intended to be recorded from the tour, but was canceled, likely due to complications with Victory.
