Swedish Rockers The Hawkins Release "Jim and Kate", From Their Upcoming Mini-Album "Aftermath"
/
A rock band inside a kitchen during a house fire. An ironic soundtrack to the apocalypse. Lyrically Hyde, sonically Jekyll. With a splendid mix of swing, energy, and punk’n’roll, Sweden’s The Hawkins delivers rock music at its finest. Combining high-flying, infectious melodies with exploding energy and dynamic songwriting into one vibrant soundscape. Blending the best of many worlds, The Hawkins could be described as an encyclopedia of rock.
The Hawkins have launched the single "Jim & Kate". The track offers an ambivalent mixture of dead seriousness and fun, combining upbeat, super melodic, and experimental garage rock with downhearted lyrics dealing with tattered relationships.
The Hawkins' lead vocalist and guitarist Johannes Carlsson comments on the single:
“‘Jim & Kate’ takes place in the aftermath of a shit hitting the fan. Over and over again. You’re once again standing in the rubble, trying to make sense of what just happened and grasping for pieces to supposedly glue together. Shock and denial mixed with has-tingly trying to fix things. The intro is kind of like that to play as well. It’s a bit like being half awake and thinking you’re late to work.”
“Jim & Kate” is the third and final single from The Hawkins upcoming, conceptual mini-album "Aftermath", on which each track tells a story connected to the destructive af-termath of past relationships. The 6 track mini-album will be released on The Sign Re-cords October 15th on LP, CD, and digital formats. ”Aftermath” can be pre-ordered now HERE.
