Inspired by the Marriage Equality Referendum that took place in Ireland on May 22nd and meeting fans invested in the YES Campaign #YesEquality, HAWK wanted to encourage people to vote on this important issue and released ‘Glass’, accompanied with a rainbow coloured kaleidoscopic video, to raise awareness and show solidarity with the cause.  

‘Glass’ has a distinct ethereal quality to it, with lead singer Julie’s haunting vocals juxtaposed against post-rock styled drums and stripped back guitars, creating an ambience akin to COCTEAU TWINS melded with KATE BUSH via DAUGHTER.  With a number of Irish artists including HOZIER, VILLAGERS’ Conor O’brien and SOAK pledging their support or dedicating tracks to boost awareness of the campaign for marriage equality, it was HAWK’S ‘Glass’ that featured most prominently on UK Music and LGBT blogs.  HAWK were also lauded by Ireland’s Hot Press magazine with lead singer Julie shown as an example of the young, Irish creatives going home to make their voices heard.

HAWK are Julie Hawk (Vocals), Matthew Harris (guitar), Chris Handsley (bass) and Sam Campbell (drums).   Airplay support for HAWK includes Dave Rowntree & John Kennedy XFM, Simon Raymonde plus playlisting on Amazing Radio, Steve Lamacq & Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music, Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio plus RTE1, Today FM and RTE2 TV. 

FRESH ON THE NET - “During our Irish tour we met loads of people that were canvassing and raising awareness for the vote. Our date at Dolan’s in Limerick ran on the same night as a major LGBTQ party run by OUT in UL in the downstairs venue. After the gig, we met and spoke to a variety of passionate campaigners. Their enthusiasm really stuck with us. James Byrne (director) had suggested the idea of filming colours dispersing in water and we felt this was the perfect opportunity to do something that would raise awareness of the vote, and keep it front of mind, not just with people who follow us in Ireland, but with people in London and the UK as well. With the amount of effort we saw going into the cause we’re so happy to be making a contribution.”  http://freshonthenet.co.uk/
