With JT from Hawthorne Heights. You're emohad nice here at Aftershock?

11
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.120
Have you guys? I don't even remember because they all

12
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.719
flow my mind. Have you guys played After Shock before?

13
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.439
We haven't. This is our first time playing it. We've

14
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.519
done a lot of the other festivals by the same

15
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.040
company Danny Wimmer presents, and it's always awesome. The fans

16
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.640
always bring a lot of energy and the lineup is

17
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.200
always just an eclectic mix of rock music, you know,

18
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:31.560
everything from metal to alternative to punk to emo anything

19
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.719
in between. And we love it because that's what living

20
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.719
your life loudly is supposed to be.

21
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.760
Like, I love it and it is so true, like

22
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.599
Europe has always been known for doing that. US really

23
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.680
didn't do that until Danny Wimmer started creating that.

24
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.840
I totally agree, And I think it's.

25
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.200
Great because I love when I can go to like

26
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.799
go see Slayer, but then also see you guys, and

27
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:02.159
also see Static Eggs and see Ministry and then Cypress

28
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.120
Hill Insane clown Posse. It's like I can get all

29
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.199
my personalities in one festival.

30
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.560
Absolutely, it's the wonderful thing about it is truly a

31
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.199
magical mix of cultures, which I think is what rock

32
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.120
music is supposed to be. It's supposed to feel a

33
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.520
little dangerous, it's supposed to feel a little dirty, and

34
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.080
when you get a bunch of different people together who

35
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.400
all love the same things, you realize that we're all

36
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.439
humans walking the urch earth in search of something loud.

37
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.400
And it's the ultimate uniter, right like in times where

38
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.960
we're supposed to be so divided, music and these festivals

39
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.479
bring us all together to show that we are all

40
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:43.199
one people.

41
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.759
Absolutely, and I think that it's cool to highlight our differences.

42
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.680
And I think that's what it is out here. You know,

43
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.400
like the stage that we played today, Slayer is headlining

44
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.719
it and we sound nothing like that, and we had

45
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.800
a very respectful crowd that was singing every word and

46
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.439
you just don't see that in a lot of places,

47
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.159
and I think that's actually where we are as a society,

48
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.199
but the Internet makes it seem like we're a lot worse.

49
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.719
That's the problem. Okay, you go way back. You didn't

50
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.599
have socials, you didn't have the Internet, so you didn't

51
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.639
really know all these things, and you didn't have people

52
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.000
being able to just you know, poke at.

53
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.680
People absolutely, And I think most importantly, I don't think

54
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.360
we need to know every single thing about each other. No,

55
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.159
I think there's common denominators. I think there's things that

56
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.599
unify us, and we don't need to be worried about

57
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.719
so many things that can divide us because we're picking

58
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.400
and choosing what we hear and everything like that. I

59
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.840
think that like everybody's mostly chill and we should respect

60
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:43.360
one another.

61
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.840
I love it and with the music. I love what

62
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.840
you said because I grew up in time where you

63
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.680
had all the freaking gatekeepers. Yeah, you know, I was

64
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.280
a long hair. I couldn't go to punk shows because

65
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.120
I was a long hair. You know, you were a

66
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.400
slayer person. You can like just anything like Sligh or

67
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.639
anything not like slay Er. You're not allowed to listen

68
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.520
to absolutely, And it didn't mean you didn't like it,

69
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.199
you just couldn't admit it to anybody for sure, And

70
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.360
I love that now you can just you can be

71
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.839
a Slayer fan, you can be a Hawthornheights fan, and

72
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.759
you could be a fan of whatever else you want

73
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.800
to be, because that's the way it should be.

74
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.720
Absolutely. I think it's festivals like this that are kicking

75
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.959
down doors that you know, and breaking through roadblocks that

76
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.759
have been there forever, and being able to watch a

77
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.839
bunch of different bands that sound entirely different but all

78
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.319
kind of represent the same thing. Yeah, I think that's

79
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:41.519
what's powerful about it.

80
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.959
Absolutely, In all your years of doing this, one story

81
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.560
good or bad, crazy or not that you always remember

82
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.120
and will remember, what would you say it would be?

83
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.160
There's so many because it's been twenty years of doing this,

84
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:04.360
But I remember we got in a similar situation at

85
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.920
Blue Ridge Rockfest, maybe like four years ago or something

86
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.399
like that. They put us on a stage where you

87
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.399
couldn't read any of the band fonts except us, so

88
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.519
it was like black metal, like really wild metal, not

89
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.759
like Slayer and stuff like that, way way wilder. And

90
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.199
the first thing I said when we got on stage,

91
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.079
because I knew it was going to be potentially polarizing

92
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.399
playing kind of like pop punky stuff. And I was like, Hi,

93
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.839
we're Hawthorne hEDS and we're the heaviest band here. If

94
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.920
you don't like heavy music, leave And I turned the

95
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.279
crowd immediately and they were awesome because they knew we

96
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.560
at least had a sense of humor about what we

97
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.399
were doing and that we were there to play a

98
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.480
show for anybody that would watch. And I think we

99
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:49.959
all got to kind of do that, you know, like

100
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.319
we all look different, we all feel different, we all

101
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.639
act different. But the unifiers the fact that we all

102
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.800
believe the same thing. You know, we all want to

103
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.079
have our place in this world.

104
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.240
Absolutely, and tonight when Slayers on there and there's seventy

105
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.360
five thousand people out there, all from different walks of

106
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.240
life together, that proves your point one percent.

107
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.240
That's exactly why this festival can exist, why rock music

108
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.720
can exist. It's a great unifier. We love it.

109
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.439
Tell them how they can reach out to you on socials,

110
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.879
on the web, by your merge, check out your music.

111
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.360
You have a new song that just dropped in June.

112
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.160
Absolutely about that.

113
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.480
Yeah, well, all of our handles are very basic they're

114
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.879
just Hawthorn Heights. We run all of our social media,

115
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.800
we run our web store, which is just hawthornheightstore dot com.

116
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.319
We run our own record label. We're very self contained

117
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.839
because we believe one hundred percent in each other and

118
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.360
what we do, and we don't like the gatekeeping that

119
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.639
goes on and other things, so we gatekeep ourselves. We

120
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.959
keep our friendships locked up tight, and uh, we're just

121
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.160
trying to usher in this next era of Hawthorne Heights

122
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.160
over the next twenty years. I love it.

123
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.360
And you know that just shows what beyond the artistry

124
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.079
of your music, the example that you're setting that's going

125
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.600
to make music better and better twenty years from that.

126
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.680
Absolutely, and for all the you know, younger generations of bands.

127
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.079
You got to be able to represent yourself and learn

128
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.800
your band business and learn your economics and have a

129
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.879
great time doing it because it's so rewarding if you

130
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.199
know exactly what's going on in your own world.

131
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.720
Yeah, because there's a lot of crappy guy to deal

132
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.040
with in this business. Absolutely, that is the perfect solution.

133
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.000
Yep. You don't want to let it grind you down.

134
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.480
We want to work for ourselves and each other and

135
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.240
we found that it's one hundred percent fulfilling when we

136
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:42.879
do it that way.

137
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.480
I think artists should have total creative control. So I

138
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.800
love what you're doing absolutely, I love that you're here

139
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.600
at Aftershop. And thanks for being on the Adventures of
