Hawthorne Heights is an American band that formed in Dayton, Ohio in June of 2001. The original name under which the band was formed was "A Day In The Life" but with some time the band changed ts name as its music and lineup also changed. JT Woodruff is the lead vocalist and also plays guitar, Matt Ridenour plays bass, Eron Bucciarelli on drums, and Casey Calvert and Micah Carli on guitar. The band's fan club is called the Silence Alliance.
The first album of the band The Silence in Black And White was produced shortly after the formation of the band but it had very limited release. The album was not a big hit despite the definite singles in "Ohio Is For Lovers", "Niki FM", and "Silver Bullet". However soon the "Ohio is for Lovers" video began getting airplay on MTV, and the band peaked at number 55 on the Billboard charts. When their second album If Only You Were Lonely was released, it debuted at number 3 on the charts, powered by the lead single "Saying Sorry" which has received massive airplay on MTV, VH1 and Fuse. On July 18, 2006 it was announced that they would be in the annual Nintendo Fusion Tour.
On August 7, 2006 the band announced they would be leaving Victory Records, and sued the label for breach of contract, copyright and trademark infringement, fraud and abuse. The following September, however, a judge ruled the band was still contractually obligated to Victory.
In March of 2006 Victory Records issued two statements to fans through the band's mailing lists as well as their MySpace page, stating that "ROCK music needs your support" and that "the #1 slot that belongs to us." They also pleaded with fans to go into chain stores and make sure Hawthorne Heights CDs are in stock and to sabotage Ne-Yo's sales:

Artist Biography - Hawthorne Heights
|
 "As for Ne-yo, the name of the game is to decrease the chances of a sale here. If you were to pick up handful of Ne-yo CDs, as if you were about to buy them, but then changed your mind and didn't bother to put them back in the same place, that would work. Even though this record will be heavily stocked and you might not be able to move all the stock, just relocating a handful creates issues: Even though the store will appear to be out of stock, the computer will see it as in stock and not re-order the title once it sells down and then Ne-Yo will lose a few sales later in the week."
They ended their rallying cry with by quoting Winston Churchill: "Victory at all costs, Victory in spite of all terror, Victory however long and hard the road may be; for without Victory, there is no survival."
Later, group members claimed that the statements were issued by their record label, Victory Records, without their consent. Feud with Victory Records: "The REAL Manifesto", at the beginning of August in 2006 Hawthorne Heights released a letter to their fans (called "The REAL Manifesto") stating that they would be leaving Victory Records due to multiple factors. Along with the label putting out letters under the band's name (including the statements baiting Ne-Yo), they also claimed to not see a single penny in royalties from their first two albums. There is currently no word on what their new label will be, but they assure that they will still continue making music in the future. Recently the band has stated that they plan to go into a studio in February to record a new album.
