this is gonna be the single greatest thread ever

he's really going all out with this label huh? what with the homepage being myspace.... - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com

"The label also obtained distribution through Victory along with an upstream pact which allows Victory to pull successful Carbon Copy acts into Victory's roster. " Must be good to know your label is useless from the beginning.

they're new album is going to suprise everybody.

Wow, way to suck Victory's cock even harder. From his perspective, it is a wise move to start such a label now, as hopefully screamo will go the way of nu-metal, but to depend so heavily on a pseudo major label that will gobble up every successful act on your label is guaranteed to be frustrating.

notice the name of the label...Carbon Copy. Just what HH is, a carbon copy of every band that did the whole emo screamo thing before them.

'Carbon Copy'? That is TOO funny.

derp!!!!

Carbon Copy? Wayyy to easy. This shit writes itself.... anyone else see the new teaser for clerks 2 yet? f'n'a.

irony

Hahahaha. 1. "Carbon Copy Media"....good job, no reason to deny the cookie-cutter image and (lack of) sound all of these prick bands have. 2. "Upstream Pact"....so, if a band is successful, Tony gets to snag them? Awesome. What a douche.

Ha! Best news ever!

dog shit this shit is awful... Carbon Copy! hahahha too funny. They can't be serious. I can't wait to see this fail hard.

Fuck me, expect more carbon copies of Hawthorne Heights styled bands on his label....now where is the nearest cliff i can jump off?

Wow, the singer is 27?

this is retarded. Normally I am happy to hear new labels starting up and new bands getting signed. I thrive on new music as much as everyone else. But this is retarded. Its like every lead singer is starting a label. This band's not even good and they have one. Soon everyone and their mother will have a label. And their all "unstream pact," so they are all just puppets, really. Can we please stop doing this label-opening trend? you're band is going to get hardcore drama in a year or two, you'll break up, a few fat chicks will try to cut themselves (if they haven't grown the fuck up yet), and you'll return to you 2-bed condo, go to community college, get a real job, and move on. stop this shit and focus on your band. its a shitty one. fix it.

Carbon Copy Media... I appreciate his honesty with his generic music

can anyone honestly name a band WORSE than hawthorne heights? how can anyone admit to liking this garbage?

the irony is truly delicious

Horrible horrible band. I can't understand why kids like them so much. They suck at what they do.

Holy crap, I don't think he could've done a better job of naming the label, considering what derivative crap his band is.

Truly the worst fucking band ever in the history of music. I can't even describe how fucking awful I think they are. I'd much rather listen to Limp Bizkit, or Puddle of Mudd than this shit.

man, i have to honestly say i've never heard a single hawthorne heights song, and i really want to now, just from all the comments saying it's the worst noise you could subject yourself to.

Why don't Aiden and Hawthorne Heights team up and make a split record and wage aural warfare on anybody willing (forced) to listen.

Bands like Fall Out Boy are good at writing catchy songs. Hawthorne Heights on the other hand, will never be good at anything.

Fucking shoot me. Thanks.

Read this earlier. Thought it was announced earlier.

lord, please just kill me now when will it stop. give me something, anything. there has to be some other godawful new trend bubbling in the underground that can push this shit away. i dont' care what it is, just make it stop.

Possibly my favorite band...

why don't bands like this ever get in van wrecks and die

i heard the guy that signed hawthorne heights works at an arby's now

For about 5 seconds I hoped and dreamed that all 51 replies would have somehow missed the irony of Hawthorne Heights starting something called "Carbon Copy", and I would make this great obsevational one liner and you'd all think I was really funny.

Wow, more shitty bands on the horizon...

so I'm not a big fan of online opinions usually (high blood pressure is bad) but this news post/comments thing is hillarious. -chrissy/suhleep

fucking gay

Oh man he calls it Carbon Copy then signs two other bands with names that sound like bougie neighborhoods. I wish this garbage was easier to ignore and Victory didn't have that goddamn commercial running when I'm trying to watch Beavis and Butthead reruns on MTV2.

this is seriously better than any April Fools' Joke this website could have possibly written. I mean, nothing even needs to be commented on. It's just fucking comedic gold without ANY of the user-posted comments.

at least hawthorne heights isn't already a complete joke. i'm taking this label completely serious... no really. i'm sure only good will come out of a vocalist from a shitty band aiding others.

could there possibly be a worse scenario?

carbon copy media?! How fitting is it that one of the most carbon copy emo bands, starts a label called carbon copy, where all kinds of copycat emo bands will find a home and no one will know the differences between them because they all look and sound the same. I actually applaud JT, because he knew exactly what was gonna happen with his label.

You can all rip on how Hawthorne Heights is shitty, and while I agree, It does not mean the bands that he signs are gonna 1. sound like hawthorne heights 2. are gonna suck. I found this Ellison band e.p. and its really good. Im not too sure about the other band. But the ellison cd has killer harmonies.

I can see why people like Fall Out Boy, Sum41, Blink, all that but this is just awful. The guitars sound like shit, the lyrics are trite. Screamo is truly the new glam metal.

less than jake was my favorite band was i was a youngling but now i have to say that i curse vinnie and his fuckbag label for signing fall out boy and allowing that shit to be forced on the populace, this shit has to stop. Its sad what the prospect of money can do to people.

Well I will say that Asteria isn't too bad, I have their CD, A Lesson In Charades(a promo), and I will say that I like them a hell of alot more than Hawthorne Heights

I saw Asteria with a friend at the House of Blues in Chicago and they were absolutely incredible! I think everyone deserves a fair chance, even the sore losers on this thread!
