HAWK release download track ‘Fire In A Classroom’!
"HAWK combine post-punk and folk in a spine-tingling brew that'll take potshots at your emotional wellbeing" - The Line of Best Fit
"...a searing post-rock epic..." - Gigwise
"I honestly can't stress enough how nice [Fire In A Classroom] is..." - The 405
HAWK have released a free download track, 'Fire In A Classroom', which is taken from their EP Clock Hands, released via Veta Records.
The track premiered on The 405 and you can download and stream the song for free via the band's SoundCloud page.
The video for EP title track Clock Hands premiered on The Line Of Best Fit and you can watch it now on the band's YouTube channel.
Clock Hands continues to explore the limits of light and shade. The title track combines soaring and ethereal vocals with a guitar and rhythm section that defy traditional melodic forms but retain an air of their folk heritage. Like a post-rock Daughter, HAWK’s talent for minimalist storytelling is evident on tracks such as ‘Fire In A Classroom’ and ‘Footsteps, but their ability to convey emotion through music and Julie’s amazing vocal range is just as strong. The intro to last year’s single and EP track Hush is wordless, yet is all the more powerful for it, and a spine tingling example of the band’s dark beauty.
Hush gained support from the likes of The Line Of Best Fit, Music Week (who tipped them as ones to watch in 2015), as well as Amazing Radio, BBC 6Music’s Tom Robinson, and XFM DJ and Blur drummer Dave Rowntree. The track premiered on Gigwise, and you can stream and download it for free via HAWK's SoundCloud page while the haunting video that accompanies premiered on The Line Of Best Fit and can be watched on the band's YouTube channel.
Clock Hands is released via Veta Records and available to buy on iTunes.
