Hawthorne Heights, Just Surrender, Anarbor, Monty Are I, and Nightbeast at Triple Rock Social Club
Around the 2006 release of If Only You Were Lonely, Hawthorne Heights was the biggest band in the indie-emo scene. Then, the bottom fell out: A simmering feud with its label, Victory Records, became litigious, the album underperformed, and guitarist Casey Calvert died suddenly from a prescription-drug interaction. The lawsuits and countersuits kept the band out of a recording studio for two years, no insignificant gap when its main demographic is known for fickle taste and short memory. But Hawthorne Heights has worked hard to make up for lost time, releasing its final Victory album last year—Fragile Future, a slightly better but still humdrum collection of generic emo-punk—before plunging into its upcoming Wind-up Records debut, Skeletons.
