Hawthorne Heights experiments with this theatrical sound on an orchestral rendition of their latest single, “The Storm,” pulled from their freshly released EP, Lost Light, which dropped last month. Celebrating their current tour with Emo Orchestra, the new version paints Hawthorne Heights’ authentically emo-punk sound in a new and… Read more »

The Lostprophets titled their second album Start Something for two reasons. One was to motivate people out of complacency. “We spent the last three years touring and meeting loads of people who were like, ‘I’d love to do this and that,’ but they never had the drive to get up off their asses and do it,” explained singer Ian Watkins. “Start something. Start anything.” The title’s other meaning reflects the band’s feeling that Start Something is their first musical step, despite releasing their debut album three years ago. They’re neither trying to ignore 2001’s The Fake Sound of Progress nor… Read more »

Greatest Hates Volume 3 is a 10-track collection of bangers with lyrics written entirely by the company’s internet haters.
