Hawthorne Heights Re-Sign to Victory Records

From HITS:

RED ALERT: Tony Brummel’s marketshare-leading indie label Victory Records has re-upped for distribution with RED. In other Victory news, the label has settled its differences with Hawthorne Heights and will release the band’s new studio album later this summer. The group just played last weekend’s Bamboozle Left Festival at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA, their first gig without guitarist Casey Calvert, who passed away last November, and will go out on Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution Tour this summer.

I guess this adds a whole new level of meaning to the old music industry adage “That’s why it ain’t called ‘music friends.’” And all else aside, I’m personally stoked for this news, as the band is set to start tracking said untitled new record with a good friend of mine in the very, very near future. As it hasn’t been announced yet I will refrain from spilling the beans, but its pretty badass for anyone who likes good music and good people which the Hawthorne dudes (and their new producer) definitely are.
