HURT frontman J. Loren studied classical violin in his native Virginia, but rock-n-roll was forbidden. It wasn’t until he saw the video for Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,”well into his teens, that he first heard rock music. HURT drummer Evan Johns grew up in Hollywood with a father who produced records for Led Zeppelin, and was gigging with seasoned musicians before he even hit his teens. Loren and Evans have proven quite a match, as is evidenced by HURT's hit single “Rapture,” which has spent over six months on the charts. The sound is mainstream enough for rock radio yet edgy enough to appeal to the fringes. See them Sunday (July 16) at the Icon with Mercy Fall and As Summer Dies, 7pm.
