Hurt’s latest single “Wars” (currently #18 on the active rock charts) is the band’s fifth straight hit at rock radio and has already become one of the band’s fastest rising singles of their career.” Some people could misunderstand some of the songs,” says J., “But I assure people, that I’m not going to tell them what to think. With ‘Wars,’ I’m already getting what I expected – people are used to artists doing the whole peacenik thing. But the fact is I worked as an aircraft consultant, and I made jets to blow the shit out of people. It’s not like I’m a complete pacifist, I’m saying, it’s a damn shame that people have to do this.”
The band’s brand new album, Goodbye To The Machine, is the follow up to Vol. II, which also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart upon its week of release. It’s the band’s fifth release overall and the first release via their new label, Amusement Recordings.
“We had this idea of doing a record ‘the old school method,’ as opposed to the previous two records, that had been recorded to Protools – as almost all records are done nowadays,” explains Rek. “What we wanted to do was go back to our roots, and show a different side of the band – not so much hide behind layers and layers of production. We wanted to write songs that stood more on their own and to record them to analog tape, using analog gear.”
The results of this new approach for the band has certainly paid off, as evidenced by such standout tracks as “Pills,” “Dreams Away,” “Fighting Tao,” and “World Ain’t Right,” the latter of which features Shaun Morgan of Seether.
Their previous albums - 2000’s self-titled debut, 2003’s The Consumation, 2006’s Vol. 1, and 2007’s Vol. 2 – helped the band build a substantial following throughout the world, while they have also scored several popular rock radio anthems (“Rapture,” “Falls Apart,” “Ten Ton Brick,” etc.), and have toured alongside some of rock’s biggest names (Staind, Three Days Grace, Alice in Chains, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, etc.).
Based in Los Angeles, California (by way of Virginia), the group – which is comprised of members of J. Loren (vocals), Paul Spatola (guitar), Rek Mohr (bass), and new member Louie Sciancalepore (drums).
