Set to celebrate 20 years of the seminal sophomore release, If Only You Were Lonely, Hawthorne Heights has announced a second leg of the anniversary tour. With the first leg already selling out select dates, in addition to the band's confirmed appearances at Sonic Temple and select dates of the Vans Warped Tour, Hawthorne Heights is now firming up fall touring plans to continue the year-long celebration of their pivotal 2006 release.
Along with the news of the second leg of the If Only You Were Lonely 20th Anniversary Tour, Hawthorne Heights has also confirmed the release of a new single, “Like A Cardinal,” which will coincide with the on-sale of tickets to the second leg of the US tour. Get the single - HERE
The band shared of the new track, “We wrote and tracked ‘Like A Cardinal’ at our recording studio called A Nightmare on North Elm Street. We wanted to roll our sleeves up, grind ourselves into ashes, and prove that we still had some juice left in us. While trying a few more methods and tricks in the toolbox, we enlisted Will Deely, Anton DeLost, and Mike Kalajian to help bring this track to life. We were searching for a heavier, more dense sound, while adding that classic Hawthorne Sugar to each chorus, that has been our trademark for years. We always want a fair amount of tension during the verse and bridge, because that’s our daily life, but we want to make sure that there is plenty of party left for the weekend during the chorus. We are the sour patch kids of emo…a little sour, but mostly sweet.”
Set to begin a busy year, Hawthorne Heights kicks of the first leg of the If Only You Were Lonely Tour this week along with special guests, letlive. and Creeper - both of which have been confirmed for the second leg as well. The band will also take the anniversary celebration international with dates in Australia, Japan and Europe in addition to confirmed festival plays at Sonic Temple, the Vans Warped Tour and Slam Dunk abroad. The current list of extensive tour dates can be found below.Tickets for the second leg of the If Only You Were Lonely US tour launch March 20th. Get tickets - HERE
