Hurt is an art metal band formed in 2000 in Virginia but that is now located out of Los Angeles, California, United States. Signed to Capitol Records, the band has put out two major label albums. The group consists of lead singer J. Loren Wince, guitarist Paul Spatola, and drummer Evan Johns. Bassist John Ansley left the band in April 2008 for personal reasons,[1] and was replaced by Rek Mohr (former Bassist for the band Leo) in May 2008. Programming and engineering credits given to Brian Winshell.

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 (the Polish one):

The band formed in Wrocław, Poland and debuted in 1994 with a tape titled "Babilon". In 1997 they released themselves a live album "Serki dietetyczne". At that time they where a little known, some would say underground band. All started to change when the biggest independent label in Poland got interested in them and so came the cd for SP Records called "Musisz to kupić" (1999). After that record the band got their first drummer- before that they played with automatic percussion. You can still hear it in their style.
After that follwed another cd "Dokładny czas". (2000)
Then the group stoppted touring for a while and almost put an end to it's existence. However, after some personnal changes they've came back in 2005 with "Czat" contaning the hit "Załoga G" and started touring more then usual. In summer 2006 Hurt made a tour togther with happysad.
