(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Hawthorne Heights will perform at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park on Wednesday, April 25 - two days before their new album, Bad Frequencies, is released via Pure Noise Records. Supporting the band for the show will be Listener, Hotel Books, Sienna Skies, and Heavy Things. Doors are at 6:30pm, show at 7:00pm.
Based in Ohio, Hawthorne Heights is composed of JT Woodruff (Vocals, Guitar), Mark McMillon (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Matt Ridenour (Bass, Backing Vocals), Chris Popadak (Drums). The second single and music video from the upcoming album is "Just Another Ghost."
Singer and Guitarist JT Woodruff shares “'Just Another Ghost' is a song about floating through life, and the anxiety that comes with the feeling that life is passing you by. One second you are having the time of your life, and the next second you feel all alone. Your mood can go from euphoria to panic, until you eventually feel you aren't even there, or you are invisible.”
Directed by Benny Gagliardi, the video features the band performing in two extremely different locations to create the feeling of being in different worlds. On the video, Woodruff continues, “We wanted to have a video that matched that feeling and emotion, which is why we shot in two entirely different locations. We put flyers on the wall at Slidebar from life changing shows that each member of HH personally went to when we were growing up. Then to capture the sadness and loneliness we drove out to Slab City California in a location that was perfectly isolation, like in a dream. We wanted it to look like two entirely different worlds, because that's how life can feel sometimes. Anxiety is powerful, and we wanted to capture that raw feeling.”
Bad Frequencies was produced by Hawthorne Heights along with Nick Ingram (Hotel Books, Capital House Studio), and mixed by Cameron Webb (Grammy Winner, NOFX, Social Distortion). The band previously worked with Ingram on the Hurt EP as well as Webb for “Push Me Away” which was released last summer ahead of their full run on the Vans Warped Tour.
The Wonder Bar is located at 5th and Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
