THIS WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY (10/15) In this tournament, all songs from the band’s studio releases will battle NCAA style for the title of champion. Rules: All users can vote only once per round. Every round will last up to 24 hours,depending on how close the matches are. If it’s a tie after 24 hours, I will have to break it with a final vote. Your vote is verified by me liking your post, after that you can’t change your vote. If you haven’t heard all of the songs, please give them a listen before choosing. We’ll do this chronologically, and it will all end in an ultimate bracket consisting of the winning songs from the first seven matches. The match ups are randomly generated by an external site to make this fair. Rounds: 1. The Silence In Black And White 2. If Only You Were Lonely 3. Fragile Future 4. Skeletons 5. Zero 6. Hate/Hope/Hurt EPs 7. Bad Frequencies 8. Championship Round Check back on Monday for The Silence In Black And White!
Bracket is all set to go for TSIBW. Will post tonight before bed, I am eager to get this going for a band I feel is underrated in their later years.
3 brackets at once! What a time to be alive. I probably won't participate in this one. TSIBAW was a good album but I didnt revisit it a whole lot. IOYWL was by far my favorite and was in very frequent rotation during most of my mid to late teens, but I havent listened to it in years. While I respect Fragile Future for what it meant to the band as a tribute to Casey, I just couldn't get into it and it dropped out of rotation very quickly. I havent really listened to anything since. They are good dudes though and it is good to hear that they have remained consistent over the last decade!
You should give some of their stuff after FF a try, especially Skeletons, HURT and Bad Frequencies. Very good stuff. So cmon COME PLAY WITH US DESOLATE

Ohio Is For Lovers. I underrated dissolve but Ohio... Life On Standby. Thought I’d vote niki but upon relistening this song’s really great. Blue Burns Orange Speeding Up The Octaves. Really don’t like silver bullet’s chorus. Love Speeding’s verses. Hawthorne were never one of my favorite bands but man these songs have such strong memories attached to them. Also, they are such an underrated guitar band. Not overly technical but a lot of fun.
Ohio Is For Lovers- 3 Dissolve And Decay- 2 Life On Standby- 2 Niki FM- 3 Sandpaper And Silk-0 Blue Burns Orange- 5 Silver Bullet-0 Speeding Up The Octaves- 5 Morning totals so far
