The Dear Hunter is the full-time progressive rock project of Casey Crescenzo, formerly of post-hardcore band The Receiving End of Sirens. The band got its name from the lead character of the story that he wrote to go along with the music. The sound is unlike that of Casey’s former band, with musical roots deep-set in the progressive rock genre and utilizing a wider variety of instrumentation.
The band began as a side project of Casey Crescenzo when he was full time member of the Boston, Massachusetts band The Receiving End of Sirens. It was originally intended as a vehicle for music Casey had written that didn’t fit with the heavier sound of The Receiving End of Sirens. In the winter of 2005 Casey recorded the Dear Ms. Leading demos. He created 10 copies of the demos on burned CDs intended for the ears of friends, and they began circulation. At the time he did not plan to pursue The Dear Hunter full time and allowed the demos to be placed online for download. On February 2, 2006, The Dear Hunter played its first show with The Receiving End of Sirens as the backing band.
In May 2006, Casey left The Receiving End of Sirens and began work on The Dear Hunter’s first studio album. He expanded the scope of the project to a six-album story set at the dawn of the 20th century about the birth, life, and abrupt death of a boy, known only in the story as “The Dear Hunter.” In a 2007 interview with music website Absolutepunk.

I am so jelly of anyone who has seen these guys live. I would have loved them to bring that PT/C&C/TDH tour to Australia.

I've seen them live twice and I think they're great. I remember when I went to the summer tour concert last year with O'brother, Kay Kay and TDH. I went for TDH but fell in love with Kay Kay.

This band has seriously become one of my favorite bands of all time!

I definately want to see them live once, if only to boost their wallet so they can keep making these awesome albums. Still wondering why it took me so long to discover them, though.

Anyone who has seen them live...are they good? They opened for Porcupine Tree a few years ago and I saw them and it was awful. I love this band and I'm glad I got there late and didn't see much of it. It could have just been the acoustics and that venue but the other two bands sounded great. I just want to know if I should bother going to see them again. Post on my page if you have some insight!

You don't care because you are a tool and the logic behind your opinion was rocked so you have to back out of the discussion because you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Mi Fa Mi is a GREAT album, and is by no means whatsoever stale. However, BTHATS is better. Both have great lyrical content, but the build-ups, instrumentation, interludes, and overall flow of BTHATS are more impressive than that of Mi Fa Mi. Both are great albums. Stop being faggots.

TheCreatedVoid1 wrote:
V No-one really cares, sorry. We all have different opinions, but most of us think that BTHATS is a fantastic album. Mi Fa Mi wasn't a bad album, but it was rather lacklustre. And TDH are better anyway.

If you think Heart is the greatest phc album ever then you probably haven't heard a lot of phc. Also, listen to Swallow People Whole, then Smoke and Mirrors, Wanderers, and then finally Pale Blue Dot and then tell me there is little variation on Mi Fa Mi.
-
Ispacemanl wrote:
V Lol, Hearts is the greatest post-hardcore album ever created. "Barely any variation," especially when you are suggesting that Mi Fa Mi had more, is a ridiculous statement.
-
heatBreath wrote:
Hearts isn't that great of an album anyway, there's barely any variation in the songwriting.
