Hawk Nelson

[SweetScars]

anyone like em? they are the best christian band in my opinion.go get their cd Letters to the President. its AWESTOME

 

[xpunkskaterx]

i dont like them.

 

[swingnscream]

their music kinda annoys me after listening to them for a lil bit, but I do think they might be fun to see in concert. I like thier music video "Califorina" it's funny.

 

[Beoga]

they are ok, one song sounds way too much like fm static

Hi! I'm a HUGE Hawk Nelson fan!! Love their music to pieces Got their new CD and played it the WHOLE way to Maine this summer. My S/O even had a fancy for them by the end of the trip

 

[~SHINE~]

They're coming here in January (I think? Or maybe it was December) so I'll see them in concert then, but so far all I've heard is Every Little Thing, which is a good song but a little overplayed.

 

[VWPETE]

its not everyone cup-o-tea but i like them.

 

[xlivetodiex]

I thought i would like them. But when i heard their song i didnt

Hawk Nelson ahs to be the worst Christian band ever. Their lyrics are complete garbage and their music is sub standard. How can you make a claim such as "they are the best"? Clearly, you have been mistakened.

 

[~TFK~]

Well, because they are the best! Well, second only to TFK and Relient K, but they are still AWESOME!! I got their new CD Letters to the president, and I definitely reccomend it. THere are only 4 songs of theirs I don't aboslutely love, but It's all fairly good. I love their California video, it always make me laugh to see Jas in that stupid helmet, LOL

Would you consider creating music an art?

Wouldn't part of that art be creating lyrics that are thought-provoking or at the least coherent? I see none of this in HAwk Nelson.

Take for example, Letters to the President, that song is the most absurd thing ever. It is as if he is trying to be serious and saying "hey, I am making a stand" but he ends up looking like an idiot. There is no parliament in the United States or Canada for that matter (the latter of which they are from).

So I ask you, why support such a band? Because the music is catchy? Why not listen to Little Jon if all you listen to is the music?

I have to agree that Hawk Nelson's lyrics aren't especially deep or thought-provoking - however, if someone likes the music, well, why not listen to it? It's not nonchristian in any way, as far as I know, and it's better to listen to than a lot of secular songs out there.

Yep. Creating music is an art of it's own kind and thank goodness in art there's never such thing is just one kind of hip style, but everything on it's own is a piece of art, whether liked by many, considered a classic, or only understood by a few ...it still holds it's own as being art, becuz in art there is no tunnel vision.

Hawk Nelson is part of the new fluff-punk but even that very-disorted, happy-side-effect version of punk understand that punk music isn't usually serious-matters kind of music ...it's just fun and crazy kind of music, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Hey, I don't even like Hawk Nelson's music.. so if I'm defending them, that must mean your comment towards them is pretty darn lame. Take it easy kid,

Thank you.

I find very little of such thought-provoking lyrics in today's music.

There are a few bands that make me think when I listen to them:

Tourniquet
mewithoutyou
Blindside
Saviour Machine
Stavesacre
Lost Dogs

So, art is anything we want it to be then? There is no objectuive standard by which to judge?

If I recall correctly, aside from the Ramones, most old school PUnk bands were very socially concious or politcally aware. Most punk bands tend to deal with social issues and not just "having fun and daTing girls".

Hey, I don't even like Hawk Nelson's music.. so if I'm defending them, that must mean your comment towards them is pretty darn lame. Take it easy kid,

How is it lame? It doesn't any legs to stand on to begin with.

wow now there's a kid who likes to get under ppl's skin ...I'm almost impressed. Anyhow,

Yeah so something else I remembered about Hawk Nelson, they played the Who [an old rock 'n' roll band from back in the day] on American Dreams not too long back. I saw that, that was funny.

 

[~TFK~]

I unfortunately missed that episode. Was it good? How'd they do playing The Who?
