Formed around the start of the new millenium Hurt is a hot heavy-Rock
Alternative-Metal band based in Los Angeles, California USA, initially
comprised of singer + guitarist J. Loren, guitarist Paul Spatola, bassist
Josh Ansley and drummer Evan Johns.
Their debut album, "Volume 1", was released on Capitol Records
in March 2006; it peaked at #7 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers list and
reached #175 on The Billboard 200 Sales chart producing two Hot Mainstream
Rock top 20 hits: "Rapture" and "Falls Apart".
During their early years the foursome toured with such big names as Staind,
Three Days Grace and Army
Of Anyone.
In September 2007, Hurt released their sophomore effort. The 12-song
set, aptly titled "Vol. II", crawled up to #101 on The Billboard
200 and the main single, "Ten Ton Brick", bulleted into the
Hot Mainstream Rock top 10 chart at #6; the album also included the Hot
Mainstream Rock top 40 hit "Loded".
The band was ultimately dropped by Capitol in mid-2008 and also around
this time, Rek Mohr replaced former bassist, Josh Ansley, who decided
to pursue other interests.
At the start of 2009 Hurt parted ways with drummer Evan Johns and replaced
him with Louie Sciancalepore. The group's third album, "Goodbye To
The Machine", was issued on the band's own label Amusement Recordings
in April 2009. The disc reached the #112 position on The Billboard 200
Albums chart and "Wars", the first single off the CD, peaked
at #20 on The Hot Mainstream Rock radio chart. The follow-up single was
the minor Active Rock radio hit "Pills".
