Hawthorne Heights

[SDPirate]

anyone heard of them.
they are pretty good.
kinda emo but the three guitars sound alright.

[FredtheCat]

I've listened to a few of their songs, they sound alright until some idiot starts screaming randomly. I don't really like all this new screamo stuff that's not even really screamo.

[aussielax]

Dude screamo is sweet. yeah i read this thread and went and downloaded 1 of there song they are pretty sweet. alexisonfire are better though.

[wingslax5]

Hawthorne Heights is sick and so is alexisonfire, screamo is an awesome genre, ^^ go get both cd's right away.

[phslax007]

nah, i prefer to understand what the people are actually saying.

[blckout20]

Hawthorne Heights is really good. Alexisonfire is too but The Silence In Black And White might be my favorite cd I have right now. I saw them in concert about two weeks ago with Punchline, Mest, and Bayside it was a really good show. They were on MTV2's Dew Circuit Breakout but they lost I was pissed. Niki FM, Ohio Is For Lovers, Dissolve and Decay, and Sandpaper and Silk are all really good songs but the entire cd is good. Definatley go pick it up.

[FredtheCat]

Hawthorne Heights and alexisonfire aren't screamo. Saetia, Joshua Fit for Battle, and Usurp Synapse are. :nono:

Also, "Mest" and "good show" aren't allowed to be used in the same sentence. Ever.

[xSURFERx]

there deff not screamo, there good and phslax007 if you acually listend to the music instead of turning it off as soon as you hear a 1 word you would no you can understand what ppl say

[Lacrosstitute]

I personally am not into the emo/screamo things myself. I hate that music. I'm more into ac/dc led zep, you know, that kind of thing.

[SDPirate]

playing ohio is for lovers with friends and going crazy is fun though. it just is alot of fun to play.

ill have to listen to alexisonfire.
any good songs in particular?

[Fartman]

me gusta hawthorne heights mucho

[wingslax5]

44 caliber love letter by alexisonfire is a great song. Its my favorite but the whole cd is really good.

[SDPirate]

ok yes. that song is good. great even....

[LatinBabe]

no but nathaniel hawthorne is pretty good.

[wingslax5]

NOOOOO!!!! ^^^ Not the Scarlet Letter. Bad memories.

[blckout20]

I like No Transistory by Alexisonfire.

[BTlaxripper]

Ugh Scarlet Letter sucked.

I just got 3EB's new album.
Definetly good, pick it up
it's called "out of the vein"

[lzlax09]

If you like emo/screamo try out underoath they are pretty good.

[SDPirate]

yea underoath is really good.

[wingslax5]

underoath is good, i would also recomend funeral for a friend, theyre really good.

[aussielax]

yeah for anyone who wants to get alexisonfire tracks get accidents,happyness by the killowatt, "Hey, It's Your Funeral Mama",no transitory and Side Walk When She Walks. Also download anything by gyroscope ther are an australian emo/secreamo/punk band.

[The Chariot]

eh, screamo...eh. You would think with THREE guitars that hawthorne heights would be excellent, but its not that good. It has its moments. I'm more into metalcore/hardcore/grind. Now thats some music. North Kakalak Metal all the way baby.

[aussielax]

Also i got sum stuff from static lulaby they are pretty good.

[tokiolax]

check out plans for revenge, you guys might like them www.myspace.com/plansforrevenge

[roughrider]

I have never heard of the band-however-my neighborhoods name is Hawthorne Hills.

[laxinfz9]

Since we are still on the topic of bands...
I saw Sparta last week and damn they freakin rocked! They had a band opening for them called Sunshine from the Czech Republic and they were awesome. Anyone heard of Hot Water Music?---One of my favorite bands.

[aussielax]

Yeah dude most ppl here would have heard of hot water music. they're prety good i'm i bigger fan of there touring buddies alkaline trio.

[SDPirate]

i still havent actualy heard hot water music yet though.
whats some of their better songs?

[aussielax]

yeah by hot water music get: at the end of a gun, old rules. they are both alright songs.

[blckout20]

Yea I like Hot Water Music. A Static Lullaby is really good, their more hardcore than hawthorne heights. Funeral For A Friend is one of the best bands I've ever seen live and I go to a concert almost every week. They were playing with Atreyu and TBS which was a real good show. I'm going 2 see senses fail on the 17th there really good although I heard there not so great live. Another excellent band anyone who likes HH should check out is The Receiving End Of Sirens, there soo good. Dead Men Tell No Tales is an excellent song about there lead singer leaving the band.

[aussielax]

Yeah i took your advice Funeral For A Friend are pretty good band.

[SoBe546]

dude hawthorne heights is priity good, yet there not exactly screamo, but they are pritty good non the less

[blckout20]

Hidden In Plain View - "The Chaser"

[xSURFERx]

[NeW LaX DeFeNsE]

hey guys whats up i was just wondering do any of u listen to Hawthorne Heights ..and if u do what is ur favorite song by them..mine is "ohio is for lovers" just to tell ya

[nemesis562]

just telling you that i dont care , but people are going to eat you alive for putting this in the gen. mens field forum instead of the open. again , i dont care , but one person will randomly flip out on you . :nut:

[liveforlax19]

im not random... but i am going to tell u... u have 21 posts buddy, u should kno where things go by now... read the stickies if u dont... hawthorne heights has nothing to do with lacrosse

[lax_crazy027]

well I think i'll be the first not to yell at you, wake up call is their best song, imo
btw, this should be in oooopen forum. :nono:

[phslax007]

and, believe it or not, theres already been a thread on this band.

[Gee-Unit17]

Wow hotdamn! that search button comes in use

[xSURFERx]

i listen to them, but i dont think there that GREAT. alot of ppl who dont really listen to that kind of music think there amazing....but i do listen to that kind of music and think there good, but not as great as ppl make them seem. im not sure my fav song, there all decent songs

[PuLsE_SpEeD]

Their lyrics are the worst, if you can't come up with better words to a song then "so slit my wrists and black my eyes" I don't want to hear anything coming out of your mouth. They have amazing basslines though.

[SDPirate]

are you guys serious i thought they had everything to do with lax...


i use to like them till they started to remind me of a girl so i through that cd out the window with the quickness

[FredtheCat]

They have horrible, cliche lyrics. The only thing they have going for them is that they're catchy.

[xSURFERx]

yea, i like there sound, but lyrics are horrible. there are acouple of bands that play the same kind of music but much better...silverstein is really good, boys night out, underoath, ..theres other but right now only bands coming to mind are heavier bands like atreyu.

[SDPirate]

i cant belive this hasnt been moved yet

[wilsontopowell]

i love how they have three guitars. there awesome

[enjoi]

Merged together.

[franks2089]

anyone heard of them.
they are pretty good.
kinda emo but the three guitars sound alright.
I like them. Although when the guy is screaming it just sounds weird. A band that is like ten times better though is rise against.

[Dan]

I like one Straylight Run song. Just one, that's it. It's one of the few with the girl singing, and it's got this steezin' piano. I call it the dance song. But other than that, I hate all of these genres of poo. Grrr! Oh, and I'd just thought I'd let you know that those are the most horrifically cliche and unoriginal lyrics. Ever. I mean, I just read them for about 12 songs. All about girls and relationships. And the literary devices are what I'd expect from a 12 year old. And he breathes the girl in in two songs, too. How lame.

Compared to this really cool Arcade Fire song (By the way, Laika was the first animal in space, I think, in 1957):

Neighborhood #2 (Laika):

Alexander, our older brother,
set out for a great adventure.
He tore our images out of his pictures,
he scratched our names out of all his letters.

Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!

Come on Alex, you can do it.
Come on Alex, there's nothin' to it.
If you want somethin' don't ask for nothin,
if you want nothin' don't ask for somethin'!

Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It's for your own good,
it's for the neighborhood!

Our older brother bit by a Vampire!
For a year we caught his tears in a cup.
And now we're gonna make him drink it.
Come on Alex don't die or dry up!

Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It's for your own good,
it's for the neighborhood!

When daddy comes home you always start a fight,
so the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights.
The police disco lights.
Now the neighbors can dance!
Look at 'em dance.

Really cool song, and songmeanings.net had a good discussion on its meaning. But it's about a family in trouble. But it's more subtle than "My brother ran away and did drugs" or something like that. Plus, the delivery of the song is really cool.

[FredtheCat]

Arcade Fire pwns.

[chargerlacrosse]

ya blckout bayside is amazing and yes hawthorne heights is also raw as hell my buddy saw them the other day at a local venue and said they tore it up, but i was outta town so i didnt get to see them :/

[SDPirate]

if you want a real true emo song go look up the song or lyrics of "gloomy sunday"

the song is so depressing its belived to have caused over 20 people too commit suicide and the lyrics have been found in over 50 suicide notes.

im also pretty sure its banned in a couple of european countries.
