Hawthrone Heights is generally considered a rock band, with pop, punk ans emo influences.Sub-genres are debatable but some critics have conisidered emo nu-mutal, heartcore and post-hardcore as appropriate definitions.
The band is not generally considered a screamo act, although casey calvert provides screams for the band's breakdown, which include melody and counter-melody guiter riffs with three guitartists, along with a bass player and a drummer, Hawthrone Heights is somewhat distinct among rock bands;most rock bands of this size would have only two guitarists (rhythms and lead). The arrangements opens up unique opportunities for live quiter harmonies and counter-melodies. It also allows the music to transition between effects such as distortion or chrous by having another guitarist play the next part, a transition that would normally not sound "clean" live. Transiton are commonly done with 2 guitars in the recording studio as part of production.
