The Dayton, Ohio rockers have recruited Chris "Poppy" Popadak of The Story Changes as their session drummer for the upcoming trek as Eron will take some time off the kit to participate in a program he was selected for with his start up venture, MusicPlay Analytics.

Hawthorne Heights' upcoming Hope Revolution Tour will start August 10 and is a continuation of their Ten Year Anniversary World Tour for their seminal first album 'The Silence In Black And White'.

Supporting acts will include New Empire and Famous Last Words and also on select dates, Ongoing Concept (9/1-9/24), Laguna Sunrise (8/10-8/31) and Everybody Run (9/1-9/24).

Singer and guitarist JT Woodruff comments:

"It will be a different experience for everyone, including us, to not see Eron back there, but luckily we have another friend, Chris Popadak, who has also been touring with us for years. It is a simple example of a great opportunity, yet an inopportune time, as the program directly coincides with the tour. We look forward to continued friendships, extended traveling, remembering the past 10 years, and sharing the energy and passion of 'The Silence In Black and White' with our longtime fans!"

Hawthorne Heights also celebrate their break-out album, 'The Silence In Black And White', with the release of an acoustic version which is available now through all digital outlets via InVogue Records.
