Hawthorne Heights is an emo staple and I have seen them live so many times that I’ve simply lost track at this point. It’s got to be at least a dozen, and I know for a fact that I will be seeing them two more times this year.

Read moreBad Suns – Infinite Joy EP Review
I suppose it has been almost exactly two whole years since the release of Bad Suns’ last full length record, Apocalypse Whenever, but to me it’s felt like no time at all!
