Our most sincere condolences to the family, fans of Casey Calvert & Hawthorne Heights may you forever find peace. Thank you for your inspiration and song while you were here.
(MTV is reporting the following)
Calvert, 26, was pronounced dead on Saturday after police were called to the band's tour bus outside Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club around 2:30 p.m. and found him unconscious. The Washington Post reported that Calvert's death came one day after he and his bandmates — frontman JT Woodruff, guitarist Micah Carli, bassist Matt Ridenour and drummer Eron Bucciarelli — boarded the bus to begin their Wintour 2007 outing, which kicked off Friday night in Detroit. Police are still awaiting results of an autopsy, though some reports speculate that his death might have been caused by a pre-existing condition related to acute asthma.
On the group's Web site, fellow bandmembers announced the death of their "quirky and awesome best friend," who they said had "passed away in his sleep."
"Today is probably the worst day ever," the group wrote. "It's with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before soundcheck. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know. Sincerely, Hawthorne Heights: Eron, JT, Micah and Matt."
Meanwhile, fans have begun filling Hawthorne's MySpace page with messages of support and sadness, celebrating Calvert's life and remembering the music he made with the band.

Update on the Life & Lies tour
Clockers!
I always enjoy sneaking into on our own show and yesterday was no exception at the Saints & Sinners Festival, thank you Jessica from RecCenter.com for uber access passes!
Getting to meet the bands is always a plus for me and I was really anticipating getting to see theses guys perform for the first time and even more anxious to find out how the tour was going and to finally get to see Riccioli.
Clockers, this is the most underated tour I have yet to be a part of. First of all the talent is over the top So They Say's new album "Life In Surveillance" this album is nothing short of a clutch track listing and is in stores now (trust me i wake up to their commercials everyday on MTV) head over to www.myspace.com/sotheysay to judge for your self! like i said WTF are these guys are totally underated, which brings me to the next band on the tour Love Hate Hero- these guys totally know how to connect with their audience, and i never got bored watching Thrasher who is destined to claim his place in guitar world history mark my words here. You have to come to the show, the Life & Lies tour is not one to miss. The line up resumes on Tuesday at Jaxx in West Virginia and make sure you get to the venue to see Before Their Eyes, Tokyo Rose, & National Product.
Clockers, we really want to hear from you be my guest, write a reveiw and we are happy to post it here, absolutepunk tour journal and at punktheclock.com.
This tour is brought to by our friends at Hot Topic, AbsolutePunk.net Sidecho Records, SmartPunk, Ferret Records, Fearless Records, Substream Music Press, Rise Records, R&M records- for more dates and tickets
