Hawthorne Heights have released a very special string version of their latest single “The Storm”. The single is to celebrate the bands current tour with Emo Orchestra that sees Hawthorne Heights play with their own hits as well as other emo classics with a full orchestra.
Speaking about the new single JT Woodruff added, “Hawthorne Heights has always been willing to live in a world of the non-traditional. We are a million albums into our career and just released our heaviest song yet. The most unnatural thing to do would be to add a full orchestra, which would match the heaviness with a featherlike delicacy, and that’s exactly what we did. We all grew up listening to the Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie double disc, and this was a great chance to live in that world for a little bit. We hope that our fans are willing to step into this world of majesty with us, get dressed up, and listen loudly when the lights go down.”
The original version of The Storm is featured on Hawthorne Heights new EP “Lost Light” that came out last month on Pure Noise Records. The vinyl is available now to buy HERE.
Hawthorne Heights is composed of JT Woodruff (Vocals, Guitar), Mark McMillon (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Matt Ridenour (Bass, Backing Vocals), Chris Popadak (Drums).
Throughout their long and storied career as one of the most iconic emo acts of the new millennium, the quartet have overcome obstacles at every turn – but these roadblocks always seemed to come from external forces, from unscrupulous record labels and the shifting whims of fickle audiences to unimaginable personal tragedy threatening to derail them.
Despite the odds, Hawthorne Heights have overcome it all: earning two Gold albums (2004’s “The Silence In Black And White” and 2006’s “If Only You Were Lonely”), penning some of the genre’s most well-known songs (“Ohio Is For Lovers”, “Saying Sorry”), and remaining a hard-touring act nearly two decades after forming in Dayton, Ohio.
