Born and raised within a two-square-meter-big Swedish town, the four members have together shared their musical journeys since they plucked their first chords. But the specific journey of The Hawkins started back in March 2013. Inside a huge park of local industries, they have built their own Hawks Nest. It is within these four walls of carpets and egg cartons where all the blistering creative magic happens.

During the first four years The Hawkins kept the ball rolling by releasing EPs and singles while constantly being on the road, playing everything from small venue gigs to some of the biggest festivals in Scandinavia, including Sweden Rock Festival, Metallsvenskan and Peace & Love. They ended the year of 2016 with a huge bang by flying over to Russia to support pop/punk act ”4 Aprils” on a 10 day tour.

The Hawkins debut album “Ain’t Rock N Roll” (released via GAIN/Sony Music) entered the world with a superb bang in October 2017. The album included the single ”Fuck You All I’m Outta Here”, a powerful song with a strong anti-fascist message which quickly gained momentum in the Swedish rock scene, securing the band’s role as one the most promising bands of the country.

To follow up the bands successful release of their debut, The Hawkins started the year of 2018 by going on a 22 day tour across Europe with the fellow Swedish band Corroded. They rocked the stage in Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark. Since then, The Hawkins has kept rocking and rolling, releasing singles, dealing with broken van- incidents in the overwhelming summer heat of eastern Europe, playing countless gigs and touring in and outside of their home country, and even brewing their own beer - the fresh IPA simply entitled ”Fuck You All I’m Drinking Beer”.

Now in 2020 The Hawkins has partnered up with The Sign Records. They’re finally back with a new album entitled ”Silence is a Bomb”. The album will be released on 4th September, 2020.
