About Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences

"Bigger and much more attention grabbing than anything else I've heard recently. It seems to be customary to compare Hawkins to Nick Cave & Tom Waits. This does him a huge disservice. He's a considerably more marginal and interesting figure than these two decidedly mainstream oddballs" - Drunken Werewolf Magazine.

You Can't Make Somebody Love You - single - July 2008

Don't Blind Me With Science - single - June 2008

I Believe In Karma - single - May 2008

The Bigger Bone - single - Nov 2007

The Evil Thoughts - single - 2 videos - 2007 and 2008

The Dreamy Vest Expression	Apr 9 2008 4:35 AM Hey, I just got the 'Misdiagnosis' and 'Bigger Bone' EP off of iTunes and whilst listening I noticed that your last. fm profile is looking a bit bare. No biography! Also,are you recording under 'Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences' or Paul Hawkins? Extremely geeky of me, but I'm a little bit obsessive about these things.
The Dreamy Vest Expression	Apr 8 2008 1:05 PM 'The Battle is Over' gave me chills. In a really good way! Awesome stuff!
