HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS is composed of JT Woodruff (vocals, guitar), Mark McMillon (guitar, backing vocals), Matt Ridenour (bass, backing vocals) and Chris Popadak (drums).

The band will also be on Heart Support fest in February 2023 and Slam Dunk festival in the U.K. HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS are about to start a string of headline shows throughout the rest of October and November, including appearances at When We Were Young festival and "Emo's Not Dead" cruise. But hope is out there, and as we all work to rebuild and repair, we can't help but feel like insignificant dandelion pods blowing in the breeze." I felt like it was a perfect metaphor for how we are all using the internet to ruin ourselves, and how the last few years have turned us against the ones we've loved, and turned us into something we never wanted to be. It made me realize how temporary we are, and how we must fight to protect the most beautiful parts of our world, and ourselves.


Now it is basically a cautionary tale of paradise being turned to dust. This place was once a vacation destination for Hollywood celebrities in the golden age of America, and we ruined it because of over fertilization and chemical runoff. It is a perfect example of how we are quite literally ruining the world we live in, for our own temporary amusement. Speaking about the new single, HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS frontman JT Woodruff said: "During the summer, I was walking through the most desperate and desolate place I've ever been, which is Bombay Beach, located in the Salton Sea area of California. This is the band's first new music since the release of its 2021 album "The Rain Just Follows Me". HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS have released a new single, "Dandelions", via Pure Noise Records.
