Though fairly obvious, word on the street is that Hawthorne Heights (http://www.hawthorneheights.com) did not write the "battle cry for ROCK (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=117829)" message themselves.

I already knew that, HH can't write anything nearly as good as that "batte-cry."
I kid, I kid.

that message wreaks of PR bullshit. and it was way too long so it wasnt even a very good PR bullshitter. You can tell because supposedly Spitalfield posted it on thier myspace also. Yeah okay. i lost interest after reading two sentences. Yeah okay.

its also a cool way to connect with your favorite bands instead of having to read all of thier websites 80 times a day , they post the news on myspace. and you can keep in touch with people you dont talk to anymore. but yeah there are like extreme creepos on there and sometimes it makes me wanna hurl and im almost 21!

why is it fairly obvious? the saddest part is i'm sure they believe all of that bullshit. i would have been less surprised and less outraged if it was this ne-yo character himself saying all the same things about hawthorne heights. the fact that they are trying to call selling shitloads of their victory-released turd a triumph for INDEPENDANT music is more than enough to call them
a. retards who clearly don't understand what victory records is
or,
b. hypocrites who do know and are blatantly lying to their fans.
but no, i'm sure the person who wrote it was either some victory records pr person or even tony brummel himself... making the label, in typical fashion, the money hungry, lying, hypocrites, and hawthorne heights, in typical fashion, the naive pawns of the money hungry, lying, hypocrites.
just do yourself a favor and dont play into it. this record will sell through the roof anyway, they didnt need to lie.
and did everyone forget about say anything? jesus.

If you care about sales so much then maybe quit being such a pompous dick and give your bands access to the #6 music retailer in the nation that accounts for about 4% of all music sold.

While I get what Tony Brummel or whoever wrote it is trying to do as I think it is so important to spread indepedent music. I think the whole point of independent music is that you buy what you like and the music earns your money out of respect and admiration for the artist. I don't think anyone who doesn't like Hawthorne Heights but is a huge fan of indie music should buy this cd. The only thing this will do is send a message to major labels that they need to sign more of what Hawthorne Heights sounds like. If that's what you want, buy the record. I'll pass and spend the $12 on an indie band I like at an independent record store (NO MORE BEST BUY!)

Something is horribly wrong when The Strokes new album enters at #3 and Hawthorne Heights enters at #1. Everything about HH is crap. Phil Collins has written better lyrics than Hawthorne Heights. It's gonna be awesome when some Usher rip-off beats the crap out of Hawthorne Heights in terms of sales.

What the fuck?
People bitch about HH for supposedly writing that bulletin, and now when people find out that they probably didn't write it, they still pull something out of their ass to bitch about.

cause thats how the phrase goes... it means "through ways to the stars, through suffering to renown"... i know its an acceptance song, but im pretty sure "ad astra per aspera" is a band, and the incorrect way it goes

i think that ne-yo song is wayyyy more 'emo' than hawthorne heights will ever be...lets compare the single's choruses:
Ne-yo- 'So sick'
"And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing
You were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?"
hawthorne heights- 'saying sorry'
"Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying sorry, we've fallen apart
Wish we knew this from the start
Saying goodbye's the hardest part
Wish we knew this from the start"
my vote goes to ne-yo

That's because they are terrible and deserve to be bitched about at every opprotunity presented.

I'm sure they still have some sort of creative control over what is posted on their behalf (or at least I'd hope so). Which would probably make it worse.
