Hawthrone Heights Music Review

The members of "Hawthorne Heights" hit the mainstream in 2004, with their breakthrough album "The Silence in Black and White."

In two years, they have become more than the once garage-band; they are now one of the leaders in the new rock scene. Their debut album "The Silence in Black and White," was a huge success, breaking sales records and receiving platinum record status in 2005. Followed by their 2006 album "If Only You Were Lonely," receiving a Gold certification.

The band's newest album, "Skeleton" has a similar sound to their previous work but has a more mature technique. The song "Unforgivable," is a combination of strong rock undertones with meaningful lyrics. For fans of the band's pervious work, "Skeleton" does not disappoint.
