London-based Irish rockers Hawke The Band are one of the most exciting discoveries of the week.
The outfit has already shown themselves as masters of indie pop and rock, with their impressive new single ‘Doctor’ sure to become a hit this summer. Elaborating on the track’s lyrics, they explain:
“In this case, the doctor being the lover and the patient is continuously crying out for this person to tend to them, but in the end the doctor doesn’t truly care if this patient will come back or not as he has plenty more, and the reality is it’s a good sign for the doctor if the patient doesn’t return.
The ‘doctor’ is a metaphor for a dangerous lover who while we know the consequences and potential heartbreak associated, we can’t help but be intrigued and want more. The uplifting chorus portrays the high of the drug being prescribed (love) while the lyrics talk about the harsh reality and underlying worry felt by the patient.“
The band has been listed as one of NME’s Top 100 Artists, and also graced Glastonbury’s legendary Main Stage last year. Keep these chaps on your radars!
