| facebook.com/hurt  Hard rockers J. Loren and Evan Johns met
after Johns' producer father, Andy, heard Loren on a demo tape
and was intrigued by the singer's voice. Upon hearing that Loren
was looking for a drummer, Andy Johns arranged for the two young
musicians to get in touch, and they quickly found that they
played well together. Soon guitarist Paul Spatola and bassist
Joshua Ansley joined (though Loren also plays guitar and violin
for the band and Johns adds piano) and Hurt was completed. In
2006, their debut, Vol. I, came out on Capitol Records, while
the following year the appropriately titled Vol. II was
released. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
