about

"The four-guitar, bass and drums instrumental wall of fuck from Kitchener/Waterloo’s Hawkeyes made me breathe cement, and I liked it. Being epic and subtle with this much firepower at your disposal is a hell of a trick to pull off. Screw the stoner/doom tag, this is elemental ROCK of the highest order. Best thing to come out of Canada this year." - Christopher Laramee, Texture Magazine

From the elephant march of Javier Fuentes:
"No amount of sunbathing or vitamin supplements can prepare the body for the gut-shifting force contained within Hawkeyes’ black hole riffs. Running the earth’s energy fields through a chain of fuzz pedals and phasers, notes swirl violently in a spectacle that recalls memories of a recent tornado. The lurching advances of screaming frequencies march down decimated paths to the beat of thundering rhythms that hit the ground like flashes of dry lightning. Obsidian squalls enter the sightlines in the form of a distant mirage. The illusion creeps closer and closer, yet the real image barely takes a step forward. Quit looking ahead, you’ve already sunk to the earth’s core." - Javier Fuentes, Weird Canada

about

HAWKEYES Kitchener, Ontario

Their self-described “chaotic, psychedelic brand of space-rock” is a pretty accurate description of Hawkeyes’ sound… a heavy, dark, and monolithic ambience is set by their rhythym section and Hawkeyes’ four guitarists play very interestingly off of it, mounting texture upon texture, weaving a multitude of tones around that monolithic base.
“Tune down, turn up.”
