Dayton, Ohio (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 October 2007, while in the midst of legal disputes, tragedy struck within the Hawthorne Heights family.

It's as if you pride yourself in listening to whiny bands that play a three chord mishmash and cry about a non-existent girlfriend. And the fact that you needed a picture to make some sort of "witty response" shows that you were aiming for some sort of personal attack. that's not very witty now is it. as for the fat fuck, everyone can criticize Radiohead, they're absolute shit. i was going to go to Lollapalooza till i heard those retards were head lining.

@gym: i was going to say something witty in response, but then i saw not only your lack of picture but also your pathetic excuse for taste in music. so i guess i'll just say thanks for making me laugh.

))))You know what!?You can try as much as you can to cause a reaction you want to-but still i won't take a miff or get furious....because I m a very nice girl and it's just your problem that you write things like that to a person u don't even know(pretty relevant now crawl back under your rock boy,surely a sense of reality and taste in music wouldnt hurt your reputation as a scene kid)- i don't care what a "person" like you says, your attempts to make me angry with those words are futile.I study psychology and journalism so it will pretty entertaining for me to chat with you like that sometimes, maybe we will get the core of your problem one day.Oh yes!!!mallgoth))))R you seriously?I think you hardly know what mall GOTH is...scene kid, well, yes you are half right,i like some pretty popular an well-known bands but i listen to some bands very few people here know. If you want to continue the conversation-don't sully HHs profile here, u can write comments or private messages.

Bright eyed ashes... do yourself a favor and clamp your Borat reciting mouth on a curb. As to the other dildo, the fact that you listen to Radiohead nullifies any and all of your opinions. /dicussion
