With a slasher-like sound that reverberates ominously into your previously-calm consciousness like a hot flame has just been lit into your heart and won’t stop burning, Hawker strips our ears apart with their debut track that have been released as one called ‘Bot Noxious‘ and ‘Chaka‘.
Hawker is a brooding Sydney, Australia-based indie hard rock band who make the sort of intense music that you either rapturously love or can’t stand at all.
”Hailing from Sydney’s northern beaches, the four-piece – Jefferson Grainger on guitar/vocals, Ish Karunanayake on lead guitar, Chris Grainger on bass and Jason Robertson on drums – conjure the spirit of grunge for the 2020s, its searing music invoking the likes of grunge-era royalty like Nirvana, Mudhoney, Hole and Tool.” ~ Hawker
Hawker might be the most hardcore band you will hear all year. Their music seems to help you get over any heartbreak you are considering, as they grab you by the scruff of the neck and take you to a community that is loaded with sweaty mosh-pits and lots of jumping around like it was 1994 again.
‘Bot Noxious‘ and ‘Chaka‘ from the full-voltage Sydney, Australia-based indie hard rock band Hawker, is a stand-up and take action type of encounter. They showcase their highly effective skills in all corners with tyre-ripping drums, window-cracking guitar riffs and head-knocking vocals that might cause an ear or two to bleed out as the paramedic’s patch you up. This is that heavy music that your neighbours might call the cops to, as it defies normal volume standards.
