Hurt
Biography
Hard rockers J. Loren and Evan Johns met after Johns' producer father, Andy, heard Loren on a demo tape and was intrigued by the singer's voice. Upon hearing that Loren was looking for a drummer, Andy Johns arranged for the two young musicians to get in touch, and they quickly found that they played well together. Soon guitarist Paul Spatola and bassist Joshua Ansley joined (though Loren also plays guitar and violin for the band and Johns adds piano) and Hurt was completed. In 2006, their debut, Vol. I, came out on Capitol Records, while the following year the appropriately titled Vol. II was released. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

This band is amazing. I saw them live at the loft in atlanta georgia. Great band, even live! =) Can't wait for more.
|
||
Saw this band at the House of Blues here in Houston. Great bunch of guys. Their music is very versatile not just a three cord band. What else can I say these guys rock!
|
||
I also just saw hurt in cedar rapids at a small venue & i think they play the best when it's just the band and a few hundered fan. I've also seen them with big bands and they still hang with their fans after the show. Tell me of any other band that does that.

great band but whoever wrote the about vol. II album is an idiot anyone who feels the same way i do give it a read, and post a comment there show the a** who wrote that review hes one of the few that feels that way.

My friend introduced me to this band, I've been in love with them ever since. They really are great music to fit my mood a lot of times.
|
||
i like how they've got that sparking "stabbing westward" touch but a bit less boring. HARDCORE BAND <3
|
||
I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels the way I do about this amazing band!

Moonshadovvr a v e n , I have a similar story. I saw HURT in a concert supporting Seether and Flyleaf. I had never heard of them before but I thought their show was awesome. I went out the next week or so and bought both Vol. 1 & 2!
|
||
I heard two songs in a friend's car, bought the disk that day and tickets to the show two days later. I have been to every show in Minneapolis since then. Live, they are one of the best preformances I have seen. Every time he picks up the violin(fiddle? ) I get goosebumps.

Hurt is absolutely the greatest band today. Everything the say I can relate to, when I'm at a hurt show its like they are playing just for me I know i'm not the only one who feels that way.
But They are incredible! |
||
they are really good my two favorites are falls apart and 10 ton brick.
|
||
Love this band!!
First time i heard them i was surprised i dident hear more of there stuff on the radio and such. Easily one of my faviorite bands of all time |
||
everytime i hear them my heart races, they are just so refreshing and new! They tell their stories to express themselves and its not all this emo bull that you hear now. seeing them in concert was amazing, front row especially!! ! !
|
||
I saw these guys in cedar rapids, and i have to say, one of the best live shows i have ever seen!
|
||
Just by the way... Ansley is no longer with the band. He was replaced by Rek Mohr. Full discography includes Volumes I & II, The Re-Consumati o n , Hurt (Self Titled), The Consumation, The Black Market EP, and the Connect Set. :)
|
||
Hurt rocks! They are amazing in concert. I just wonder why they don't have The Re-Consumati o n on their discography, it's a great album.
|
||

|

Just saw them last weekend in Des Moines. They played a small venue and hung out with fans after the show. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
|
||
Saw them in Shreveport La March 1st 2008, have loved them for over a year and that topped it off.
|
||
