小简介
当Hawk Nelson在04年发行了乐队的第一张专辑Letter to the President之后便预示着他们会像Relient K和MxPx一样在punk-pop拥有属于自己的地位。
这支加拿大的Punk乐队Hawk Nelson2004年为NBC一部电视剧American Dream创作了一首“My Generation”从而为人们所认识,同年一首“Letter to the President”开始让他们有了自己的名声;而我认识他们,则是他们在05年一部家庭喜剧“Yours, Mine, and Ours”中的客串演出。在电影里,他们也演唱也自己的作品。Hawk Nelson从不掩饰他们是一支商业乐队,主音Jason说:“我们的音乐商业味很重,也很琅琅上口。人们都喜欢好的流行音乐,流行音乐跟电视节目是一种携手共进的关系。”
Hawk Nelson Is My Friend是Hawk Nelson发行的第三张专辑,不仅专辑名字很可爱,发行日期也很特别,正好是愚人节那天....
Christian punk-pop quartet Hawk Nelson formed in Peterborough, Ontario, in 2003. Originally comprising frontman Jason Dunn, guitarist Davin Clark, bassist Daniel Biro, and drummer Matt Paige, the group's self-released debut EP, Saturday Rock Action, earned the attention of fellow Peterborough native Trevor McNevan, vocalist of Tooth and Nail label act Thousand Foot Krutch, and thanks to McNevan's cheerleading the label extended a contract offer to Hawk Nelson, who issued their full-length debut, Letters to the President, in mid-2004. That fall the band co-starred in an episode of the NBC drama American Dreams, portraying the Who and delivering a performance of the classic "My Generation." Clark and Paige exited the lineup soon after, and with new guitarist Jonathan Steingard and drummer Aaron "Sqwid" Tosti, Hawk Nelson made a cameo appearance in the 2005 Hollywood family film Yours, Mine & Ours, performing their song "Bring ‘Em Out." Their sophomore LP, Smile, It's the End of the World, followed in the spring of 2006.
