If Only You Were Lonely

Hawthorne Heights

Polished triple-guitar density meets the definitive tension of mid-2000s emo. A winter-soaked document of suburban isolation and melodic catharsis.

The ultimate soundtrack for driving through a snowy suburb while wishing your ex would pick up the phone.

A high-tension blend of suburban yearning and explosive, polished frustration.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive transition from the melodic verse to the guttural 'I ALWAYS KNEW' refrain in the opening track

The way the three guitars weave a shimmering, clean tapestry during the bridge of Saying Sorry before the heavy distortion returns

The haunting, piano-led intro of Decembers that captures a stark sense of seasonal loneliness
