This page is home to at least two different artists: a popular American rock band and a Polish punk band. The homepage of the American band can be found here: http://www.hurtband.com/ The saying goes, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," which can neatly sum up the career thus far of the Los Angeles, CA-based quartet, Hurt. Having survived line-up shifts and a split with their former label, Capitol Records, the group - which is comprised of J. Loren (vocals), Paul Spatola (guitar), Rek Mohr (bass), and new member Louie Sciancalepore (drums) - has returned with their strongest and most musically varied release yet, 'Goodbye to the Machine' (which was produced by the band themselves, and will be distributed by A2M and released via Amusement Records). ...show more
