Biography

Hurt (sometimes typeset as HURT) is a rock band formed in 2000 in Virginia, now located in Los Angeles, California, United States. Currently in partnership with their manager's independent record label, Amusement, the band has put out two major label albums. The group consists of lead singer J. Loren Wince, guitarist Paul Spatola (who was brought in by fellow New Jersey-ite, also HURT's ex-bassist, Josh Ansley), the now bassist Rek Mohr, and also hailing from New Jersey, drummer Louie Sciancalepore.

The band first released the independent albums Hurt in 2000 and The Consumation in 2003. Many of the songs from these albums found their way onto their first two major label releases, and The Consumation was re-mastered as The Re-Consumation in 2008. The band received critical (though not commercial) success with their major label debut album, Vol. 1, released on March 21, 2006. However, their singles "Rapture" and "Falls Apart" did gain minor radio airplay on rock stations in the United States. Their second album was the critically-acclaimed Vol. II, released on September 25, 2007, and they gained their largest radio rock hit yet with "Ten Ton Brick."

HURT released their fifth studio and their third original major-label album on April 7, 2009, titled Goodbye to the Machine.
On November 5, 2009 Rek Mohr posted on Hurt's twitter that the band had started writing again, presumably on their sixth studio album. A Facebook update in November 2010 hinted that the band has entered the studio to begin recording.
