Hawthorne Heights has seen their far share of ups and downs. With the death of guitarist and lead screamer Casey Calvert in November of 2007, many fans, including myself wondered if the band would continue on. But friends, family members, and thousands of fans weren’t going to let this Ohio band just disappear. They encouraged the band to continue on and helped them complete their third and most powerful album to date. Fragile Future is packed with heart wrenching songs of triumph and defeat but still reviles the true soul of this broken band. Tracks that stand out on the album are “Rescue Me”, “Sugar in the Engine” and my favorite “Four Become One”.
