Hurt (band)

Hurt is an Alternative Rock band, formed in Virginia in 2000 and disbanded in 2014. Needs a Better Description. (Actually, just needs a description.)

 * Vol. II (2007)

 * Break Up Song: Several.
 * Chronological Album Title: Vol. I and II.
 * Digital Piracy Is Evil: Mentioned in "Flowers," amusingly right alongside a Take That to their old record label.
 * Driven to Suicide: The narrator of "Well," although it fails (the gun isn't loaded.)
 * Epic Riff: "Wars" in the "a riff that the whole song is based around" definition of the trope.
 * Grief Song: "House Carpenter," "That (Such A Thing)"
 * Hidden Track: "Flowers" is attached at the end of "That (Such A Thing)" on the album, although it's also available as a bonus download to people who bought the album new.
 * Intercourse with You: The first couple verses of "Pandora" are rather explicit, although the sex doesn't make up the whole of the song.
 * Metal Scream: Infrequent, but it happens. "Overdose" in particular goes from the most perishing of Perishing Alt Rock Voices into growls and screams at the end.
 * Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness: Ranges from 1 ("Assurance," "Aftermath") up to around a 7 ("Role Martyr X", "Ten Ton Brick")
 * Murder Ballad: "Got Jealous," overlapping with Obsession Song.
 * Protest Song: "Wars." Who would have guessed from that title, right?
 * Religion Rant Song: "Rapture" and "Talking to God," both type 2 (religion as a pernicious influence on someone in the narrator's life.) Both religious folk and atheists are also subject to a bit of a Take That in "Flowers."
 * Take That: "Flowers" delivers a string of these.
