Hawthorne Heights

Hawthorne Heights is an American rock band that formed in Dayton, Ohio in June of 2001. They were originally known as "A Day In The Life" but changed their name as their music and their lineup changed. JT Woodruff is the frontman on vocals and guitar, Matt Ridenour is on bass, Eron Bucciarelli on drums, and Casey Calvert and Micah Carli on guitar. Hawthorne Heights' unusual mix of three guitar players, a bass player, and a drummer give them the ability to transition distortion without pedals or pauses.
