Some argue that this band is too Punk to make it big, but with a strong alternative influence, Hawk Nelson does a good job writing songs that actually mean something. Their new cd was just released and you can take a listen to all their songs on purevolume. If you enjoy Blink 182, but get sick of the same thing over and over, then you should take a listen to Hawk Nelson. They have a variety of different styles of songs, from Is forever enough, a harder rock song, to Everything you ever wanted, a softer more meaningful song. A few other songs of their that stand out to me include The one thing i have left and Things we go through.The members of this band call Canada home and just a few years ago were living the low life while working at coffee shops and toll booths. Now with over 100,000 sales of their first album, Letters to the President, Hawk Nelson has gained industry attention. As many of the bands signed under Tooth & Nail, Hawk Nelson keep their roots with their listeners and live up the music.
Yet Hawk Nelson has hardly given itself a chance for rest. With all the appearances, touring and activity surrounding the unit, the group found time to head to Seattle in December 2005 to work with producer Aaron Sprinkle on its sophomore effort, Smile, Its The End Of The World.
Co-written by the band and Thousand Foot Krutchs Trevor McNevan, who had spent time touring with Hawk Nelson last year, Smile, Its The End Of The World is a more diverse, mature collection of material than the Hawk Nelson debut. Though its crammed full of pop-punk punch, the band has broadened its sound with additional keyboard input from Dunn, guest vocals from Emerys Josh Head and a barbershop quartet?
Inspired by bands like Goldfinger, The All-American Rejects, Sum 41 and Green Day, Smile, Its The End Of The World finds Hawk Nelson taking a stronger rock approach in the creation of its music.(Purevolume)
