Hawthorne Heights announce 2nd annual "Stripped Down To The Bone" acoustic tour.
Last February we embarked on our first ever full band, all acoustic tour...just for fun. The idea was to hear our songs in a different way for our own sanity, and to give our die hard fans a different type of show. We only booked it for two weeks, because we had no idea how it would go for us, or our fans. What happened in those two weeks turned out to be more than we could have ever imagined. It was an experience that was so special and powerful that we wanted to stay on the road for once. We actually didn't want to come home, which is hard to imagine when you tour so often. So this year, we decided we had to do it again. We were even able to find the time to extend it an extra week and take it one step further. Elaborating on the theme "Stripped Down to the Bone", we have also decided to choose some venues that are very bare bones as well. We wanted to take this tour to some cities that don't get shows very often, as well as try to convert some smaller places into ALL AGES concert halls, at least just for a night. We also had the idea of trying to get some dates at tiny coffee shops, so we can help turn people on to the local brew of that area. We hope that our fans will respond to this tour again, and realize that we have kept ticket prices very low because we would like to support them as well. Sometimes everyday life can get you down...and a night of music can help you forget about it just for a few hours. Keep the scene positive...help music grow. –Hawthorne HeightsWe will be selling LIMITED EDITION (and hand-numbered) Acoustic CDs EXCLUSIVELY on this tour. This release includes alternate versions of some of your favorite HH songs.

12 stones set to release new album "Beneath The Scars" in May 2012.
12 STONES will release their fourth album, BENEATH THE SCARS, May 22 on the Executive Music Group label via Fontana/Universal. The band joined forces, once again, with producer Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, Skillet, Saliva), who had previously worked with 12 STONES on 2007’s ANTHEM FOR THE UNDERDOG. The first single, “Infected,” mixed by Johnny K (3 Doors Down, Disturbed, Staind), is currently being serviced to Rock radio and will be available for download on iTunes and Amazon on February 28.
Fans who pre-order of BENEATH THE SCARS from band’s official website (www.12stones.com) will have early download access to six songs starting March 6. The rest of the album will then be made available on May 22.
A lyric video for “Infected” recently premiered on Loudwire.com and can be seen here: http://bit.ly/wDzbyW. As singer Paul McCoy explains, “The song ‘Infected’ was written about the messed up state of the world. It speaks about how crazy these times are, and about being fed up with the chaos and hatred.”
Early buzz for BENEATH THE SCARS surfaced last year as the track “Bulletproof”—which was mixed by Mike Shipley (Green Day, 30 Seconds To Mars)--made its way onto Rock radio stations across the country, including SiriusXM’s “Octane,” WIIL (Chicago), WBSX (Wilkes-Barre), KDJE (Little Rock), WRXW (Jackson), KFRQ (McAllen) and KHTQ (Spokane). It reached #1 on the CMW “Rock” chart, where it lived for eight consecutive weeks.
As singer Paul McCoy explains, “The album title comes from knowing that we all eventually fall short of our expectations regardless of financial, emotional, physical well being. But in the same breath, we all strive to find a way to better ourselves. That’s human nature. There are always two sides to people. It's all about realizing that we all bleed the same. We are ALL human. Lyrically, the songs capture the essence of life’s challenges. As an example, the song ‘I’m With You’ is about the impact a friend’s suicide had on all of us in the band. It’s a song of hope for those that are going through the trials we all face and the hardships that are a part of life.”
A new partnership with the Executive Music Group and a recording that is the realized vision of a decade of finding their voice in BENEATH THE SCARS has delivered a renewed passion for the future of 12 STONES. “Thanks to EMG,” says McCoy, “we have found a new love for this industry. I think that people forget how hard it is to succeed when you don't have the right people in place. We think that we are finally poised to break through the mold. I have never felt stronger about what we are doing and I think that this is only the beginning for this band.” Guitarist Eric Weaver added, “EMG, and their partners in Fontana/Universal, are all supporting the vision that we have for the band. We've always wanted to reach out to our fans that are all over the world, and finally we’re getting to do that. Our first tour in support of BENEATH THE SCARS will be in the U.S., and the opportunity to tour globally is something we have been waiting years for.”
12 STONES’ previous albums and singles have sold over one million copies in the U.S., in addition to singer Paul McCoy winning a Grammy® Award for “Best Hard Rock Performance” for his contribution on Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life” smash hit single which went on to sell over 14 million albums worldwide. The band has also garnered multiple GMA Dove Nominations for their singles "Broken" and "Lie To Me.”

All American Rejects ready for spring 2012 tour in support of new album.
DGC/Interscope Records recording artists THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS return to the road this spring with an extensive six week North American tour commencing March 31 in Flagstaff, AZ. The Kids In The Street Tour, with the support of A Rocket To The Moon, visits major cities in the U.S. and Canada before wrapping on May 13th in Cincinnati. "If you want to see this band at their best, and probably the best they'll ever be and hear all the songs you want to hear and all the songs you haven't heard yet then you should make it a point to come out. It will be the show you tell your children you saw. It will be a great evening and a lot of fun with your four favorite Okies," - Tyson Ritter
The All-American Rejects' first single, "Beekeeper's Daughter" along with the rest of the tracks on Kids In The Street , was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Greg Wells, who is known for his work with Adele, Katy Perry, and OneRepublic, among many others. The video for "Beekeeper's Daughter" by Isaac Rentz (Blink-182, Cage the Elephant) can be viewed at http://vevo.ly/xKVMco. Billboard called the single "a fun and memorable romp that brings out the best of the group's pop side."
Since forming in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 1999, The All-American Rejects have released three studio albums: their platinum self-titled debut, featuring the breakthrough hit "Swing Swing," followed by 2005's double-platinum Move Along, which spawned the Top 10 hits "It Ends Tonight," "Dirty Little Secret," and "Move Along," as well as the gold-certified When The World Comes Down, featuring the 4-million seller "Gives You Hell," – the most played song of 2009 at Top 40 radio – which spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Top 40 charts, and more than 13 weeks in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The All-American Rejects, which includes lead singer, lyricist, and bassist Tyson Ritter , guitarist Nick Wheeler , rhythm guitarist Mike Kennerty and drummer Chris Gaylor , have sold more than 4 million albums and 16 million singles worldwide. The All-American Rejects are ranked in both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 Artists of the Decade.
The All-American Rejects are scheduled to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, March 27th. After their spring tour, The All-American Rejects join Blink-182 on the road and make a return visit to Bamboozle Saturday, May 19.
