  • Sounds Like

    "I’m not certain that this local band, which includes members of Tongues and Volta do Mar, chose the name “American Draft” as a reference to military conscription—it could be about weak beer, I guess—but Hawk (Coachhouse Collective) smells like victory. It delivers a startling blast of instrumental indie prog-metal, full of the kind of joyous, orgasmic energy particular to tech geeks with access to powerful amps.".... -..Monica Kendrick.., ..Chicago Reader..
