The Hawkeyes EP Review

Album Reviews The Hawkeyes by The Hawkeyes

This one surprised me by showing up in the mail the other day. Warning, this isn’t stoner rock.

The Ep is a self titled by The Hawkeyes. The sound is very americana rock featuring lots of acoustic and electric guitar.

In the one sheet provided with the EP the band mentions comparisons to bands such as The Black Crowes, Neil Young, John Mellencamp amongst a few other big bands. That’s actually pretty accurate. Vocally The Hawkeyes could be mistaken for a bit harder version of John Mellencamp or when he was still known ans John Cougar Mellencamp. It has that distinct sound. The opening track, “Double E” as well as “Joe” certainly have that sound and charm of a classic Mellencamp track. “Junior’s Night Out” is a pretty kick ass tune. It’s a down and dirty song. The instruments, for this style, are aggressive. It’s the most catchy of the 4 songs on the EP.The closer, “7 & A Quarter” is pretty cool too. The whole tone and mood of the song is quite fitting and a good track to end the EP with.

This EP isn’t for everyone. If you only listen to more aggressive stuff that is covered here, this may not be for you. Fans of Mellencamp’s earlier material, Neil Young’s more country rock stuff, southern rock like Skynyrd or Hatchet or even Sweet Kiss Momma are going to really dig these guys. Look for more material in the future. Check out their EP on their Facebook page.

The Hawkeyes (Pittsburgh PA) break 3500 views for their video Double E after being featured on N.M.E. 's video channel last week.

The New Musical Express, popularly known by the initialism NME, is a music publication in the United Kingdom, published weekly since March 1952. It started as a music newspaper, and gradually moved toward a magazine format during the 1980s, changing from newsprint in 1998. It was the first British paper to include a singles chart, in the 14 November 1952 edition. In the 1970s it became the best-selling British music newspaper. During the period 1972 to 1976 it was particularly associated with gonzo journalism, then became closely associated with punk rock through the writing of Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill.

An online version of NME, NME.COM, was launched in 1996. It is now the world's biggest standalone music site, with over 7 million users per month.
