"East Coast's answer to Fu Manchu, keeping it simple and thick with harmonious metal groove. It wasn't heavy riffs and growls, but power riffs and soulful rock delivery wrapped in metal packaging.
Freedom Hawk's sound is large, like trying to force an elephant to fit in a closet." - Performer Magazine - Live Reviews - Nov 2007
"Rather than deal with coming down, which everyone knows sucks, my high was kicked through the roof later that night with the dick-out rock of Virginia Beach’s Freedom Hawk (Will’s Pub). With a name like that, you better not be fuckin’ around. Fortunately, these dudes came with a behemoth sound so wickedly triumphant that it could impel an army of stoners to ride into battle … or at least think real hard about it. With metal firmly rooted in rock’s deep grooves, this is what Wolfmother would sound like if fronted by Ozzy. Power riffage and maximum volume equals hell yeah! Why they haven’t blown up yet is one for the Sphinx." - Orlando Weekly - Live Review - Jan 2009
NEW ALBUM SUNLIGHT 2008 - NOW AVAILABLE!
Loud, hard, and powerful riff rock wrapped in smooth metal packaging with melodic high pitched vocals and slight psychedelic taste. This album is best turned up loud driving in your car head bobbing the whole way until you reach your final destination.

BIOGRAPHY
This is the story behind the chemistry of Freedom Hawk. It started with T.R. and Mark in 1996, two guys that had been just playing their instruments by themselves. They met through a mutual friend who played music. For years they just goofed off, jamming with different drummers, but never got anything together. T.R. moved to Florida, but they both continued to play on their own with other musicians. T.R. moved back in 2000 and had a four track and they started to record their jams. They met Lenny through a mutual friend in 2004 who had been in a ton of bands before they met. Lenny is a pure jam drummer who also clicked. He was interested in and liked the style of music they were playing; raw sloppy rock but they all felt the changes and knew which direction to go next. They continued for about a year, when Lenny wanted to put some structure to the jams and turn them into songs. T.R. wanted to fatten up the sound and add another guitarist. They found and played with a couple of guitarists but it didn't work out. That's when Mark's brother Matt came in 2005 and also clicked. Matt was an awesome lead guitarist, and was musically trained, which helped them further the sound. He was the final piece that made the band complete. They recorded a demo that tightened up four songs and showed them the way to tighten up the rest. The first name they came up with was Down Green Well, which came from where they practiced. They played a few shows under that name but the band didn't want to keep it. T.R. didn't feel it represented the sound and changed it to Freedom Hawk without consulting band. It was supposed to change from Freedom Hawk to something else but never did. The band embraced the name and has continued to soar and attack the mainstream since day one! The first show they played under the name Freedom Hawk was with Year Long Disaster and Throttlerod. Since the first show the band has not slowed down....putting multiple EPs in 2006/2007 out(Self Released) and a full length (Sunlight) 2008 on Magic Lady Records. They continue to write new music, play live, and tour as much as possible.
Freedom Hawk prides itself on a high energy live up close and personal experience that makes you want to feel and hear more. They don't plan on slowing down anytime soon…..Hope you enjoy the RAWK and keep in touch!
