REISSUE: Hawthorne Heights – The Silence In Black And White (20th Anniversary)

Dayton, OH based emo band Hawthorne Heights celebrate the 20^th anniversary of their landmark debut album, The Silence In Black And White, with a new limited edition vinyl pressing, out now on Craft Recordings.  The 2-LP set is presented in a gatefold jacket with alternate artwork, tons of photos and expanded liner notes, including a reflective essay written by the band.  The original album comprises the first two sides and sides C and D feature early demos and live acoustic versions of album tracks.   

Hawthorne Heights hit the scene running with the release of The Silence In Black And White in 2004 with instant hit singles; the ultimate emo-anthem “Ohio Is For Lovers”, the equally anthemic and passionate “Niki FM” and the surging “Silver Bullet”.  In the years since, the band has carried the torch for “emo”, acting as ambassadors for the music scene; continuing to release amazing music and having curated the annual music festival, Emo Is For Lovers.   

This 20^th anniversary edition of The Silence In Black And White is a testament to the DIY attitude that has been at the heart of Hawthorne Heights since the beginning and a landmark for future emo-punk generations.
