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.

HURT released their fifth studio album on April 7, 2009, titled Goodbye to the Machine.

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 ↴
Breaking my bones with the weight of it
Weight would grow with each new soul
Buried fine lies make big black holes and
Who am I supposed to be?
Not like you give a f**k about me but
Who am I supposedly
Cause I'm finally done
With the decisions of
My former thoughts and all that I'm made of
Yet I'm finally done with the description, oh
And I don't mind saying
I'm to blame
When Atlas slipped I lost my grip
Yet I didn't think it could turn into this but
I was drawn by your sweet throes
Nobody feels what nobody knows and
Who am I supposed to be?
If everything good was taken from me and
Who am I supposed to be
I was overcome
But I'm finally done
With the divisions of
My former thorns with who I may have loved
I'm finally done
With the dissension oh
And I don't mind saying
Don't mind saying
I'm to blame
Oh this Ten Ton Brick
Would treat me like shit
This little piggy licked all those lips, yeah
And so defined
Who threw aside but won't encumber me
Cause I'm finally done
With the position of
My former thorns
And all that it may have cost
I'm finally done
With the decisions, love
Now I don't mind saying
I don't mind saying
You're to blame
When you move, you move me.
You move, you move me. Yeah.
Nothing comes from nothing
Must mean something in the end
Justify the means
I need to break you
Need to hate you
Need to take this back but
Taking is like giving
If you're at the other end
I won't pretend to know your feelings
I could never break the chain
I command you to MOVE
The song "Ten Ton Brick" by Hurt is an emotional and introspective piece that explores the pain and burden of carrying emotional baggage. The title itself is a metaphor that suggests a large and heavy burden, such as an emotional one, which continues to break the singer physically and emotionally. The following lyrics describe the singer's burdensome situation: "A Ten Ton Brick is making me sick/Breaking my bones with the weight of it/Weight would grow with each new soul/Buried fine lies make big black holes."
The singer questions their identity throughout the song, constantly asking themselves who they are meant to be. They feel like they are nobody and who they were previously is holding them back, causing them to feel stuck and unable to progress. Personal accountability is also a topic in the song, suggesting that each person is responsible for their actions in life. The singer states, "And I don't mind saying/I'm to blame" and "You're to blame," suggesting a sense of culpability for past events.
The song also explores the theme of moving on and letting go of past relationships. The singer realizes that they must move on and embrace a new identity. It could be interpreted as a break-up or even death of a loved one, as they state, "Now I don't mind saying, I don't mind saying/ You're to blame." The final lyrics, "I command you to move," suggest a call to action, a decision to move forward and let go of the past.
