Over two decades since their formation, Hawthorne Heights remain one of the most iconic emo acts of the new millennium. Released in 2006, If Only You Were Lonely remains a landmark album in the emo genre, featuring timeless tracks like "Saying Sorry" and "This Is Who We Are". The album cemented Hawthorne Heights’ status as one of the era’s defining acts, earning Gold certification and leaving a lasting impact on fans around the world.
Throughout their career, the quartet have endured every obstacles thrown at them, but these roadblocks always seemed to come from external forces - unscrupulous record labels and the shifting whims of fickle audiences to unimaginable personal tragedy threatening to derail them - yet their resolve has only strengthened. Despite the odds, Hawthorne Heights continue to thrive as a touring force nearly 20 years after their inception.
Joining them across the Australian run is Armor For Sleep, celebrating the release of their brand new studio album There Is No Memory, out Friday 7 November via Equal Vision/Civilians. Recorded with Sam Guaiana (Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, Between You and Me), There Is No Memory is a collection of songs that force the listener to question the very nature of their existence, of what makes us the people we are.
