HAWK

www.facebook.com/HAWKOFFICIAL www.twitter.com/hawkofficial www.hawkofficial.com HAWK’s EP “The Sum of all things entered the top 10 in the alternative iTunes Ireland album chart and set the year off on a high note for the London based four-piece, fronted by Galway’s Julie Hawk. As a follow up to February’s “The Sum Of All Things”, “ANTIDOTE // HUSH” ticks all the boxes: HAWK which comprises of Julie, Matt, Chris, and Sam hail from various corners of the UK and Ireland. Their sound has been described by Subba Culture as a “fusion of ambience and power; fronted by a soaring, crackling vocal” Lead singer Julie, has been described as “a bit of the Bjork side of brilliant bonkers” (Artrocker), began collaborating with Matt Harris, as a solo project in 2012. After a year of garnering plaudits on the acoustic scene, the band gained support from DJs such as Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson (BBC6Music).  The pair joined with Sam and Chris to form HAWK, adding new edge and expansion to their sound, while retaining the detail and delicacy of their acoustic roots. HAWK released their debut single ‘Take Off Your Suit’ in July 2013, to positive press.  The Sound of Confusion described, “the sharp, stammering beat and spiraling guitar lines” as ”inventive and classic all at once.”
