The Hawkins – Silence Is A Bomb

The Hawkins – Silence Is A Bomb

The Sign Records – 2020

Rock, Hard, Pop

Rated: ***

For a moment there, when the album starts, I adjusted the volume and thought, there’s something wrong. But the ruckus starts! Fitting when the album is called Silence Is A Bomb! Released through The Sign Records it’s the second full-sized album by Swedisch foursome The Hawkins. (Named after the drummer?) It’s rock. It’s hard rock. It’s rock ‘n roll and it has this catchy, poppy and punky vibe. Think Foo Fighters, The HiVes, Royal Republic and all those other high energy rock ‘n roll outfits that always make every concert one hell of a party. Tiny influences from bands like Queen and eighties metal pop up, but that pop up goes way of pop rock very fast well. There is a lot of dynamic efforts that all come together to the same result in the end: an energetic, raucous, blow-out of immense proportions. Perfectly executed you will listen to Silence Is A Bomb thinking: I need a concert! I need a festival! I need to see The Hawkins live!
