Hawthorne Heights is an American emo band. They formed in 2001 and were originally called "A Day in the Life" but later changed their name and lineup.

They have released three studio albums and a number of singles. Their album titled Fragile Future was released on August 5, 2008 in United States. Their most recent album is called If Only You Were Lonely XV was released on December 1, 2023. Their other albums include If Only You Were Lonely and The Silence in Black and White. They spawned emo classics such as "Saying Sorry" and "Ohio Is for Lovers".

Casey Calvert, who played guitar and did the screaming for the band, died on November 24, 2007, and another member found him in the morning. They had to push back touring etc., and had started on a tour already and had big plans.

Later, another person in the band, Micah Carli, started doing the harsh death growl vocals for the band.

They have had many tours including the Never Sleep Again tour, the Warped Tour and Projekt Revolution. They played the Never Sleep Again tour with fellow band Silverstein.
