Speeding Up the Octaves
Performer: Hawthorne Heights
Distributor: RED Distribution Notes: A hard-touring Ohio band with a debut record that didn't reach the Billboard charts until a full seven months after its initial 2004 release, Hawthorne Heights plays a bracing brand of emo rock. The group combines the punky tunefulness and speedy rhythms of the Descendents with a heavy, prog-influenced sound that owes more to the "math rock" and "screamo" scenes. "Silver Bullet" begins with complex Rush-like start-stop unison fills, before giving way to an ultra-catchy chorus that would make fellow Midwesterners Cheap Trick smile, while "Ohio Is for Lovers" adds a healthy dose of guttural throat-shredding over lyrics that examine love and death. "Niki FM" uses metallic riffing and careening lead guitars to evoke a seemingly obsessive relationship. Equal parts raging post-hardcore and gentle melodicism, THE SILENCE IN BLACK AND WHITE is a dynamic, appealing emo album.
Injecting the driving emo-punk of The Promise Ring with just a touch of metal grandeur, Dayton, Ohio's Hawthorne Heights forged its own ground in an already crowded `00s scene. THE SILENCE IN BLACK AND WHITE, the band's 2004 debut, became one of hardcore-icon Victory Records' biggest selling records. In a unique vocal assault, the group employed two vocalists, with dulcet-toned JT Woodruff handling the main vocals and Casey Calvert's guttural screams joining in on the chorus. A bizarre staged battle with rapper Ne-Yo over sales of Hawthorne Heights' second record led to the band's breaking ties with Victory in 2007. That same year, tragedy struck, as Calvert was found dead in his tour bus, markedly changing the band's sound.

J&R Rewards members receive 
I love J&R. They have a really great variety of products, with many different options to choose from in every category. Their prices are some of the lowest you'll find anywhere and the J&R rewards program makes shopping at their site even more affordable and enjoyable. There's nothing I like more than knowing I don't have to jack up the price with an outrageous shipping cost. Free shipping is so much easier than having to add up the price and the shipping to figure out what the actual price is going to be. And if you need your item quick they even discount their expedited shipping. The cash back rewards program is great also. After several purchases you can choose from many of their great products and get it for free. You're going to spend your money somewhere for the products you need and want. It might as well be someplace that rewards you every time you purchase from them. J&R Gadget Wonderland, one of the best places to spend that hard-earned money.
