JT Woodruff  |  Matt Ridenour  |  Mark McMillon  |  Chris Popadak

Dayton, OH natives, Hawthorne Heights are back with their next release on Pure Noise Records, a 2-track digital EP,  featuring surprising, yet illuminating covers of songs by Kacey Musgraves and Billie Eilish. After more than 15 years, HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS - JT Woodruff (Vocals, Guitar), Mark McMillon (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Matt Ridenour (Bass, Backing Vocals), Chris Popadak (Drums) are still delivering monumental music and maintaining their DIY mentality, while remaining dedicated to their long-time fans.

Their albums, The Silence in Black and White, and If Only You Were Lonely, have both received RIAA-Gold sales certifications, as well as their smash single “Saying Sorry”. Says Woodruff: “It's easy to stay inspired if you keep a level head.  To last more than a decade you have to have strong fan support, strong relationships, and the ability to improvise.  We have found that maintaining your core values will take you wherever you want to go in life.”

The band's most-recent full length studio album, 2018's Bad Frequencies, was produced by the band and Nick Ingram, and mixed by Cameron Webb (Grammy Winner, NOFX, Social Distortion, Pennywise) and featured the radio single, “Pink Hearts”.

Hawthorne Heights hopes to continue connecting with their unwavering fan base, and share music they’re truly proud of with a wider audience. Says Woodruff: “We’ve always tried to be a shining light for our fans.  Some of them look to us as a sign of hope, and we appreciate that.  We try to write songs from bad experiences in our lives, in a way that they can relate to their bad experiences.  Hawthorne Heights has always taken a "We're All In This Together" approach, and we still stand by that.”
