Dayton OH, United States (2001 – present)

Having formed in the unlikely musical breeding ground of Dayton, Ohio in 2001, Hawthorne Heights learned early on that adaptation and diligence were the keys in the development of a successful career. Playing relentlessly from the start on self-booked tours across the country gave them some initial national exposure. But it wasn’t until they signed to Victory Records in late 2003 that Hawthorne Heights became the face of a whole new generation of music fans.

As one of the first bands to utilize social networking to gain a fan base, Hawthorne Heights developed a huge MySpace following that became a catalyst that would launch them from underground heroes to international superstars. As the voice of a genre, the band became regulars on MTV, their signature hit Ohio Is For Lovers the anthem for the new wave of “emo”. Their debut album The Silence In Black And White soon went Gold, and with their second album If Only You Were Lonely, the band scored Victory Records’ biggest ever debut, landing at #3 on the Billboard 200 in 2006. The band appeared on Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel, and became magazine cover stars, sending sales of The Silence… to Platinum status. It was the dream many bands hope for, but few seldom achieve, and Hawthorne Heights were living it.

Sadly, as with every success story, the good times came at a cost. In November 2007, whilst in the midst of legal disputes, tragedy struck within the Hawthorne Heights family.

    yesterday afternoon
    Up to this day, i still cannot stop kicking myself in the face for what i did. In 2006, walking right next to Casey Calvert, my all time favourite at the time, just standing there. I saw him, but didn't make a move. Being only 13 years old to my first show, i didn't know what to do, or what to say for that matter. The only thing that came to my mind was to brush on by, acting like i didn't notice him. If only i had the gut to go up and say 'hey'. And just a year later, i come to find out he's not coming back. On November 24th, I woke up just like any other day The beginning of another tour, just another city If I only knew last night was the last time I would ever see you I would of said good night I would of said I love you I would of said good bye I would of said good night I would of said I love you I would of said good bye I would of said good night I would of said I love you I would of said good bye I would of said good night.. rest in peace, Casey. <33333
