Here’s the buzz on their new CD Hallowed Ground:

"I really liked a lot of these alt-country rockers' last album, and this one continues to display versatility, variety and power, with an intriguing dystopian science-fictional bent in the lyrics.” – Ken Barnes, USA Today

"The Hawks…know how to lock into a solid groove and ride it like a bucking bronco, and that’s the hallmark of all great country bands." – j.poet, Crawdaddy

"Lovely country rock harmonies and sweet pedal steel inform semi-surreal epic visions with such titles as “Carbon Dated Love,” “Ever Since The Grid Went Down,” and “Pale And Troubled Race.” The band has a great, smart sense of humor, but their deep concerns about both man and nature’s darker prospects are never far from the surface." – Bob Strauss, Los Angeles Daily News

"With Hallowed Ground, the Hawks effectively channel their kind of neo-flower power, but lead the renaissance with savvy and wit, bringing it with solid instrumental craft…Hallowed Ground continues the legacy of sharp and conscious songwriting and introduces new musical flavors, pushing the roots music genre ever forward. – Joel Okida, FolkWorks,

"…The band channels Gram Parsons, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and the Byrds/Burritos into one of this decade’s premiere psychedelic country rock bands." – Jim Hynes, Elmore
