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 ↴
Somebody take this from me
If anyone's out there
If anyone hears me
Somebody take this from me
I was beginning to think I'd lost my mind
Fell upon it hard and fell upon my hardest times
Cast the shadows to their gloom and I
Still dream of your perfume
I would do anything to be with you
Edelweiss... angel why... comfort me
From so far away
Angel white... dream of mine... come for me
From so far away
Angel eyes... sweet love of mine... come back to me
Though so far away
Please don't cry
There's still time
I won't change
So far away
Please don't cry
I won't...
In the song Aftermath by Hurt, the lyrics depict an overwhelming sense of darkness and despair. The singer pleads for somebody to take him away from this darkness, to take the pain away from him. He gets lost in his thoughts, believing that he has lost his mind and is going through his hardest times. The only thing holding him together is the memory of someone he once loved, and the way she lit the room at night. He still dreams of her perfume and is desperate to be with her.
The chorus shifts to a more spiritual tone, with the singer seeking comfort from an angel, who seems to be so far away. He longs for her to come for him, to bring him back to a place of peace and happiness. He begs her not to cry, as he promises her that he won't change, even though he is so far away. The song ends on a melancholic note, with the singer still lost in his despair.

Somebody take me away from this darkness
I am in a dark place and desperately need to be rescued from it
Somebody take this from me
I cannot endure this any longer and need someone to take this burden from me
If anyone's out there
I am calling out for help, hoping that someone will hear me
If anyone hears me
I am desperately hoping that someone is listening to my cry for help
Somebody take this from me
I cannot handle this on my own and need someone to help me carry this burden
I was beginning to think I'd lost my mind
I am struggling so much that I feel like I am on the brink of losing my sanity
Fell upon it hard and fell upon my hardest times
I have experienced some of the toughest times in my life and they have hit me hard
But the way she lit the room at night
Despite all the darkness I am going through, I remember the brightness that someone brought to my life
Cast the shadows to their gloom and I
That person was able to chase away my fears and doubts for a while
Still dream of your perfume
I am still haunted by the memory of that person's scent
I would do anything to be with you
I miss that person so much that I would do anything to have them back in my life
Edelweiss... angel why... comfort me
I am reaching out to someone, who I see as my guardian angel, for comfort and help
From so far away
Although I am calling out for help, it feels like the person I need is unreachable
Angel white... dream of mine... come for me
I still have hope that this person will appear and rescue me from my pain
Angel eyes... sweet love of mine... come back to me
I am still holding onto the hope that the person I am calling out for will return to me
Though so far away
Despite the distance between us, I still long for that person's presence
Please don't cry
Although I am struggling, I don't want to cause any more pain to those around me
There's still time
I am holding onto the belief that there is still a chance for things to get better
I won't change
Although I am in a dark place, I won't give up my identity or my values
So far away
Despite my struggles, it feels like the person I am calling out for is unreachable
Please don't cry
I don't want to cause any more pain to those around me
I won't...
Although I am hurting, I am not going to give up on hope and healing
