Hawthorne Heights's new album is titled Zero. It's due out this summer via Red River Entertainment. Pre-orders are available through PledgeMusic, with a portion of the donations being made to To Write Love On Her Arms.
We are looking forward to launching this pre-order with our new label partner and PledgeMusic, We've done special pre-orders in the past, but nothing compared to what we're doing this time around. We decided to step it up a notch and involve our fans! We have TONS of unique packages that we think everyone will be into, all of which include exclusive video and blog updates from the studio where we'll show our fans the entire process of how we make this record come to life (maybe we will even share some snippets of new songs as well)!
Pledge allows us to also help raise money for a non-profit of our choosing once we hit our "goal". We selected To Write Love On Her Arms (www.twloha.com) and set the goal low to quickly allow us to raise money for TWLOHA. TWLOHA has helped millions of people deal with and overcome life's hardships and start fresh (from Zero!). They were there for us when Casey passed away and we feel using Pledge allows us to give back a little to them, and to our fans directly!
What a great way to spend the extra money that they will no doubt earn through their crowd-funding project! Hope to see more projects go in this direction :)
Bands that use pledgemusic always donate a portion to charity. It's one of their rules. It's the reason why I think they are the best of the sites like them.
