Currently signed to Carved Records, the band has released three major label albums, with the fourth, The Crux, released on May 1, 2012. The group consists of lead singer J. Loren Wince, guitarist Michael Roberts, bassist Rek Mohr, and drummer Victor Ribas.
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. Their singles "Rapture" and "Falls Apart" gained minor radio airplay on rock stations throughout United States.

2. Hurt formed in Wrocław, Poland and debuted in 1994 with a tape titled "Babilon". In 1997 they released a live album "Serki dietetyczne". At that time they were a little known, some would say underground band. All that started to change when the biggest independent label in Poland became 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 stopped touring for a while and almost put an end to it's existence. However, after some personnal changes they've returned in 2005 with "Czat" contaning the hit "Załoga G" and started touring more then usual. In summer 2006 Hurt toured with happysad.

Hurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know who you are?
Since it came unglued,
I fell and picked up all the parts
I seem to come together
Its when we come apart
And made that fake connection
I fell down with my house of...
I wrote an epitaph
less than a paragraph today
I rolled it up and smoked it
And took it into my insides, I'm ashamed.
Cause when I troubled you
You didn't even know just who you were
But you come unglued
And all thats left are my words
They mean nothing to you at all
Cause my word
Means nothing to you at all
Yeah my words
It means nothing to you at all
Cause my word
Means nothing to you at all
So tell the truth
So tell the truth you know
I said I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry, too
You ask your questions
Made attending to
It's so good
When I'm sober
But I'll know that
Cause I'm a loser
Oh, yeah its so bad
When you're so gone
And I'm sorry for you
Cause my words
Means nothing to you at all
When my words
It means nothing to you at all
Yeah my word
Means nothing to you at all
Cause my word
It means nothing to you at all
So tell the truth
The lyrics to Hurt's song "House of Cards" describe a relationship that has fallen apart and the singer's struggle to understand themselves and their worth in the aftermath. They start by asking if they can "trouble" the other person, questioning whether they even know who they are anymore after the relationship has ended. They acknowledge that they have picked up the pieces and seem to be functioning, but also recognize that the connection they had was "fake" and that they fell apart with their "house of cards".
The singer then switches to discussing a written piece, potentially an epitaph, that they rolled up and "smoked [...] into [their] insides". They feel ashamed of this act, possibly indicating a self-destructive pattern of behavior. The final section of the lyrics see the singer apologizing and asking for forgiveness, but also acknowledging that their words don't seem to mean anything to the other person. They end by urging the other to "tell the truth", potentially referring to hidden feelings or unresolved issues.
Overall, the lyrics to "House of Cards" delve into the complexities and emotions of a relationship that has come to an end. The singer struggles with self-worth and self-destructive tendencies, while also grappling with the fact that their words and actions may not have meant as much to their former partner as they thought.
