HAWKE

About

Hailed as “the next big thing” by Irish rock legend Christy Dignam of ‘Aslan,’ ‘Hawke’ are a new band formed in March 2019 in Dublin’s south inner city.

Combining their influences (The Verve/Oasis/Arcade Fire) with contemporary sounds, lead singers Richard Power & Eoghan Mac Mahon offer an anthemic flavour of indie/alt-pop.

After recording their first home demos in Richard’s bedroom, they sent the tracks to their London based producers and shortly after recorded their first releases in Abbey road & Metropolis studios in London.

The first track “What About Love”, was chosen out of 500 other artists entries in a competition to support Aslan in Dublin’s 5000 capacity Iveagh Gardens, chosen by FM104, ireland’s top music radio station as their ‘song of the week’ & was picked up by BBC introducing.

Hawke made their debut UK performance at Hit the North festival in England’s north East in May 2019, alongside the likes of Tom Grennan & Jake Bugg.

Towards the end of 2019 they then embarked on their first ever headline UK & Irish tour, headlining cities like London, Dublin etc.

Starting 2020 they relocated to East London to begin a new adventure with their new management company. Expect a big release schedule from this band for 2020.
