[edit] Origin

Lead singer J. Loren Wince grew up in Halifax, Virginia. He later relocated to Culpeper, Virginia. His parents exposed him to gospel and classical music and rock and roll was banned from the household. Wince studied to be a classical violinist and began playing at an early age.

Evan Johns, the drummer of Hurt, is the son of acclaimed rock producer Andy Johns, who is most notable for his associations with Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and Van Halen. Evan Johns was raised in the Los Angeles area and began playing drums at an early age. Along side his famous father, Evan is also the nephew of music producer Glyn Johns (The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin et al.) and cousin of music producer Ethan Johns (Glyn's son) (Ryan Adams, Kings Of Leon et al.)

[edit] The Consumation

The Consumation was a self released album containing a few tracks originally thought to be possibilities for Vol. 2. It was released a few years before Vol. 1 and only 2,000 copies were made. Note that Wince was the only member present during the recording. The sound quality of this CD is very raw/unmixed.

Tracklist:

  1. "House of Cards"
  2. "Unclean"
  3. "Loded"
  4. "Et Al"
  5. "Still"
  6. "Alone with the Sea"
  7. "Omission"
  8. "The Consumation"
  9. "Cold Inside"
  10. "Velvet Rolls Royce"
  11. "Somnambulist"
  12. "The Old Mission"

[edit] Vol. 1

Vol. 1 is the title of the band's second album, but first major label debut. Tracks include Rapture, the album's first single, examining the twisted logic that religious zeal can cause.

According to the Vol. 1 booklet, the album will feature a song entitled "On The Radio".

The song "Assurance" may also be on "Vol. 2". ("Assurance" was recently posted on their myspace for a few days then removed.)

[edit] The Blackmarket EP

The Blackmarket EP is a recording the band has been selling at their concerts, beginning at the 1/20/07 show. It includes 3 live, 2 studio acoustic and 2 unreleased tracks, which were thought to possibly be on Vol. 2. It is suggested that this is the live cd they were planning.[citation needed]

  2. "Shallow [Live]"
  3. "Danse Russe [Live]"
  4. "Rapture [Acoustic]"

[edit] The Re-Consumation

This album was recently announced on Hurt's Myspace page. It is a re-release of their debut album The Consumation. No word yet of a release date. All that is known is that Wince plans on fixing a few minor errors that were created on the original due to time constraints.

Hurt have announced on their MySpace that they will release various acoustic versions of songs from "Vol. 1" as well as a song entitled "Assurance". "Assurance" was released on 3rd December 2006, without the option to download. No further info has been posted as to when they will release these songs or if they will let fans download them or not.
