Craft Recordings is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Hawthorne Heights’ Gold-certified sophomore studio album If Only You Were Lonely with a vinyl reissue. Set for release on July 17, 2026, and available for pre-order, the LP includes the Dayton, Ohio-born Rock band’s single “Saying Sorry” and major tracks like “This Is Who We Are,” “Pens and Needles,” and “I Am on Your Side.”
In addition to standard black vinyl, If Only You Were Lonely will also be available in several exclusive colorways, including “Blue and Purple with Black Splatter” (via Hawthorne Heights), “Pink Swirl” (via Urban Outfitters), and “Ink Swirl” (Via Craft Recordings/Victory Records).
The band is celebrating the album all year on their If Only You Were Lonely anniversary tour, with dates throughout Australia, Asia, Europe, The UK, and North America.
Woodruff explains:
All you could ever want as an artist is to create music that moves the listener for an extended period of time. If Only You Were Lonely is kind of like your favorite hoodie – you keep buying new ones, but nothing quite feels like it, so you keep putting it on. It has become a comfort album to many people around the world, and to still be playing these songs after 2 decades means everything to us. We have dedicated 2026 to celebrate the album with our fans, and we are having the time of our lives!
With their catalog now encompassing seven studio albums, including three LPs released via Victory) Hawthorne Heights’ current lineup consists of Woodruff and Ridenour as well as Mark McMillon (vocals, lead guitar) and Chris Popadak (drums).
Twenty-five years after their formation, the band remains a live act known for a loyal fan base. To that end, Hawthorne Heights recently launched the If Only You Were Lonely 20th anniversary tour, an international headline run that continues until late November.
