Hawthorne Heights look into 'Future'
Alt-rockers Hawthorne Heights have mapped tour dates behind "Fragile Future," their third studio album and first since the death of founding member Casey Calvert last year.
The Ohio-based band, which spent large chunks of the summer touring with Linkin Park's traveling Projekt Revolution festival, will kick off the headlining run Oct. 17 in St. Petersburg, FL. The outing will make stops in more than 30 US cities and is set to run through late November. Dates are below.
The band released its third album, "Fragile Future," last month, somewhat later than initially planned due to legal entanglements with the band's label, Victory Records, that both sides say are now ironed out. The set, produced by Howard Benson (Motorhead, Less Than Jake), is Hawthorne Heights' first studio effort not to feature guitarist/vocalist Casey Calvert, who died last November in his sleep on the band's tour bus from an accidental overdose involving prescription anti-depression medication.
Calvert appears on the credits for "Fragile Future," and always will, according to the group, which has decided not to replace him with a new member.
"We don't need another guitarist. We don't need another screamer," drummer Eron Bucciarelli told MTV News following Calvert's death. "If the fans want screaming, they can provide it themselves."
"He is the most irreplaceable person I have ever met. In all aspects," added singer/guitarist JT Woodruff.
