Hawthorne Heights

Published August 1, 2008

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."

Look for the acoustic "Rescue Me" video on Markatplace.

Check Xbox LIVE Marketplace for exclusive footage of Hawthorne Heights playing a raw acoustic version of the lead single, "Rescue Me," from Fragile Future, the band's third album. You can listen to the album version of "Rescue Me" on the band's Myspace page.

Marketplace is also featuring the music video for "Pens and Needles" from the band's sophomore album, If Only You Were Lonely, which was released in conjunction with the band’s third single of the same name in 2006. The video was shot by director Dale Resteghini.

Fragile Future

On August 5, 2008, Hawthorne Heights return with Fragile Future, a brand new album. Although the sound is still distinctly Hawthorne Heights, the music, as with the band, has understandably evolved.

With their trademark strong melodies and hooks still intact, Hawthorne Heights have broadened their sound to emerge with a collection of 12 deliciously genre-free songs that will set the airwaves alight across the world. In the meantime, don't miss the new video from Hawthorne Heights on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace.
