“We’ve only been together six years,” says Hawthorne Heights drummer Eron Bucciarelli. “But it seems we already have a story worthy of a VH1 Behind the Music episode.”

Indeed, the band’s career has been pretty eventful since breaking out of Dayton, OH, with 2004’s platinum debut, The Silence in Black, on the influential Chicago-based indie label Victory Records, on the heels of MTV and VH1 airplay for the single, “Ohio is for Lovers.” The 2006 gold follow-up, If Only You Were Lonely, debuted at #3 on the Billboard Album charts, producing the Top 10 Modern Rock smash, “Saying Sorry.”
