What do Led Zeppelin, Quicksand, The Foo Fighters, and Death Cab for Cutie have in common? They all have had tremendous musical influence on Victory Records act Hawthorne Heights.Hawthorne Heights, along with fellow rockers Mest, Bayside, and Punchline, will be rolling into the Sphere Entertainment Complex in Buffalo on Thursday."We listen to other music and just want to move people the way that music does," said Eron Bucciarelli, the drummer for Hawthorne Heights, during a phone interview.The quintet from Dayton, Ohio, formed in June of 2001 and has tried to create a melting pot of various musical backgrounds on their debut album, "The Silence in Black and White," which was released earlier this year."Other bands have poppy parts or emo parts, but we can combine the two," Bucciarelli said of the group's layering ability.On their debut album, they weave a musical web full of guttural and primal growls, romantically melodic vocals, dark and introspective lyrics, and multiple thrashing guitars."We always get lumped into the whole emo, screamo genre, and that's fine," Bucciarelli said.
