Hawthorne Heights drop a new album called Bad Frequencies.

Hawthorne Heights found huge success with their first two albums, both of which went gold. Originally called A Day in the Life, the Ohio-based band saw numerous lineup changes and shifting musical styles before settling on a permanent formation.

Composed of drummer Eron Bucciarelli, bassist Matt Ridenour, vocalist/guitar player J.T. Woodruff, and guitarists Casey Calvert and Micah Carli, Hawthorne Heights built their fan base on a demo recording and a series of self-booked national tours that saw them sharing stages with the likes of From Autumn to Ashes and the Descendents. In 2003, they signed with Chicago label Victory Records, resulting in the 2004 release of their powerful full-length debut, The Silence in Black and White.

Hawthorne Heights’ second album, If Only You Were Lonely, arrived in 2006 along with a DVD titled This Is Who We Are. Leading up to the album’s release, Victory urged the band’s street team members to help it chart above R&B singer Ne-Yo, whose own album was slated to be released the same day.

Questionable promotional tactics included rearranging store displays to hide Ne-Yo’s record and make Hawthorne Heights’ more prominent.
