Freedom Hawk - Hard Rock (USA)



Emanating from the barrier dunes of Virginia, Freedom Hawk’s weighted riffs, rolling groove, soulful guitar melodies, and harmonic metal packaging produce a sound distinctly their own. The quartet’s brand of rock captures the best of the heavy ‘70s with touches of early-‘80s metal and is inspired by experiences that could only come from living close to the ocean. Their songs speak to a lifestyle that conjures images of the warm sun, a day of surfing, and partying on the beach. There are far worse ways to spend an afternoon.  The band formed in 2005 with T.R. Morton, Mark Cave, Matt Cave, and Lenny Hines and played their first show as Freedom Hawk in January of 2006, opening for Year Long Disaster and Throttlerod. Their self-released debut album, Sunlight, arrived in early 2008 and songs like “Executioner”, “Land of the Lost”, “Going Down” and title track “Sunlight” captured the band forming the sound and writing style that would be expanded on in later releases...

Mark and TR had been jamming together for some time and could not find the right drummer to match what they were playing. Once they brought Lenny into the fold, the two knew they found the drummer they were looking for. Now a trio, the three realized their songs were missing a certain dynamic that would be required to achieve what they wanted to hear. In comes Matt Cave (guitar). Matt had been working with another band in the Virginia Beach area at the time and knew his brother Mark was looking for a second guitar player. After a few successful sessions and the eventual request by his brother Mark to join the group, Matt decided to be the fourth and final addition...
