Hawthorne Heights – The Rain Just Follows Me

Hawthorne Heights will release new album The Rain Just Follows Me on September 10 through Pure Noise Records.

“The most unbelievable part of this story is that this entire album was written and recorded BEFORE the pandemic,” singer JT Woodruff shares. “All of this darkness and turmoil is basically a summation of the coldest and loneliest nights I’ve tried to reconcile for the past 17 years.

“We want to create the best songs that are accurate depictions of our lives and connect to other people through our songs.

“I hope this record helps people understand that others out there are thinking like them – and thinking about them. Everyone gets poured on in life; we just want to provide an umbrella.”

Tracklist:

Constant Dread
The Rain Just Follows Me

On the other side of it, my life is in a way more positive place now. I said, ‘Alright, this is all of the bullshit I can conjure up in my life. Goodbye.’ It was therapeutic to dispense all of these painful things from the past and wash out the negativity.”

1. Letters To A Dead Friend
2. Fall Again
3. Face Me
4. Too Far Gone
5. Paradigm
6.  Both To Blame

Dooms Children – Dooms Children

Wade MacNeil  of Alexisonfire fame is to release solo album Dooms Children under the moniker Dooms Children.

“This is the most personal music I have ever released,” says MacNeil. “I tried to be honest (brutally at times) and not hide meaning or intent behind flowery language. It’s a record about my life falling apart and then trying to pick up the pieces. Dooms Children is about falling out of love, about addiction and lying awake at night wondering if you’ve made all the wrong choices.”
