Victory announces release of Hawthorne Heights album

Alternative Press - Brian Shultz on 6/6/08 @ 11:48 AM - altpress.com

After a tumultuous few years that included the death of 26-year-old guitarist Casey Calvert this past November and ongoing legal rifts between Hawthorne Heights and their on-and-off label, Victory Records, the latter has announced that the band will now release their third full-length, Fragile Future, on the label August 5.

The announcement comes as the band has dropped their lawsuit against the label in its entirety. A large reason for the band's original lawsuit were alleged credibility-damaging promotion tactics on the label's part. Victory had counter-sued the band a month later, followed by the band's own manager later on.

Victory head Tony Brummel essentially compared the new agreement to Senator Barack Obama achieving the Democratic party nomination for the upcoming presidential election.

The band last released If Only You Were Lonely in 2006.
