I would love to say that I am going to do an Indie band spotlight here every week, but I am not sure that I will be able to pull it off. Anyway, I noticed a band that has been on the Billboard charts for something like 57 weeks on an Indie label. The band is Hawthorne Heights and they have released 2 or three albums over the years, but their latest The Silence in Black and White has brought them some new found fame. The band is comprised of 5 members: Micah Carli on Guitar, Casey Calvert on Guitar, Eron Bucciarelli on the Drums, Matt Ridenour on Bass, and JT Woodruff on Vocals and Guitar. So, what kind of music do these guys play? Well, with influences like Led Zeppelin and Nirvana they have developed into a post-hardcore band. One of the articles I read talked about “screamo” as a genre. I guess they ran out of good musical terms when they made that one up. Anyway, you can read more about Hawthorne Heights on their website.
The band is currently touring inside and outside the US on the Warped Tour. Here are a few of their announced tour dates for this summer:
