Club tour ahead for Hawthorne Heights, other Victory acts
Hawthorne Heights , Silverstein , Bayside and Aiden --all artists on the Victory Records label--join forces for the "Never Sleep Again Tour," which hits the United States and Canada this fall.
"For us this tour represents a big family reunion," Hawthorne Heights drummer Eron Bucciarelli said in a press release. "Silverstein took us out on our first real tour, it helped us out immensely and we will be forever grateful. We've toured with Bayside a few times before; they are great people and an extremely underrated band. Aiden has unlimited potential and we want to give them the same opportunity that Silverstein provided us."
Hawthorne Heights' debut album "The Silence in Black and White" has sold more than 500,000 copies, spurred in part by the group's appearances on the Warped Tour. Its first single, "Ohio is for Lovers," sits at No. 34 on the Radio and Records Modern Rock chart. According to a press release, the video for the band's second single, "Niki FM," pays homage to the 1980s movie "Say Anything." It will begin airing this fall.
The band will also perform on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Aug. 30. Shortly afterward, it will head to Hoboken, NJ, to begin work on a new album, to be produced by David Bendeth (Breaking Benjamin, Antigone Rising).
"Although I have grown quite attached to playing these songs every night, I absolutely cannot wait to start the recording process," frontman J.T. Woodruff said in a statement. "The new songs are Hawthorne Heights songs for sure, but we have defined what HH is to each other over the past year. The songs are more mature, because the road has matured each of us."
Silverstein's sophomore effort, "Discovering the Waterfront," was released Aug. 16. The first single is "Smile in Your Sleep."
Long Island, NY's Bayside drops its new, self-titled album Tuesday (8/22). Aiden sends to stores its Victory Records' debut, "Nightmare Anatomy" on Oct. 4.
