I haven’t written in quite some time and with this review, I break my silence. The past two months have been a huge whirlwind of changes. I’m sure many can relate to the sentiment of change – whether it’s something as natural as the changing of seasons and growing ages, or something that you work so hard for and finally achieve. Either way, the past two months have been filled with change, the nice positive kind. And with such changes, I tend to reflect back from time to time. The first concert I ever went to [...]
No song has ever spelled out "radio hit" quite like Smallpools ' "Dreaming." Coming in like a genetically-engineered pop super human built from Passion Pit and Youngblood Hawke's DNA, this Captain Cuts-produced jam is guaranteed to take over your car stereo this summer. Stream it below and get hooked now. We mean it, NOW. MP3: Smallpools - "Dreaming"
The LA synth party that is Youngblood Hawke was born out of founding members Simon Katz and Sam Martin's frustration with where their previous band was going; they wanted to make a fresh start. They grabbed three friends, formed Youngblood Hawke, and with the release of their first LP, Wake Up , they've arrived guns-a-blazin' with happiness. As if the title wasn't a call to attention, Wake Up is a non-stop onslaught of California-sun-soaked joy for your ears. The opening track, “Rootless”, opens with a chorus of “ahhs”, shimmering guitars, and Phoenix dance [...]
Youngblood Hawke's first full length shows promise -- uneven in parts, but a sign of [possibly] good things to come. Youngblood Hawke's Wake Up takes the four cuts from their debut EP and adds eight more for a mostly satisfying full-length. They create colorful, elastic indie electro-pop and, most of the time, it measures up. Opener "Rootless" is a sprightly track, peppered with early '80s U2-style echoing guitars, nestled atop an insistent, pulsating groove that pushes the envelope of feeling cluttered, but never actually gets to that extreme, resulting in a song that pulls off...

At the risk of sounding jaded, it's pretty rare these days for me to go to a show and for each and every band to knock it out of the park. That was my Tuesday, though, because Youngblood Hawke took over Lincoln Hall on May 7th, and with their powers combined, Youngblood Hawke, Future Feats and The Colourist put on probably the best show I've seen so far this year. Future Feats is very much a pop band. Obviously they’re bringing a pop sound to the [...]
![[SHOW REVIEW] Youngblood Hawke with guests The Colourist and Future Feats at The Triple Rock Social Club](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4941452_lg.jpg)
Often times I find myself skipping over the opening acts when I write a show review. This time, there's no skipping over the opening performances that Future Feats and The Colourist put on Monday at The Triple Rock. In my opinion, opening acts have one job to do: get the audience pumped and ready to see the headliner. Chicago natives, Future Feats, did just that. Every shred of energy in the lead singer's body was left on the stage. Midway through the second song, I [...]
Youngblood Hawke 's maxim for their show at Lincoln Hall Tuesday night might very well have been "Git 'er done." In and out in forty minutes - but what a shining forty minutes it was. The five piece indie rock outfit out of LA came bursting onto the stage looking like a snapshot from the 19702s. While most bands right now go for the grandma sweaters and ironic mustaches (there was in fact one band member sporting both - he apparently did not get the memo) the rest of the band went for the hippie vibe - long locks on [...]
If you had to ask me to pin point the exact the type of music that is popular today among the younger demographic, there's a good chance I would point the the song We Come Running , the hit single from LA indie pop quintet Youngblood Hawke . Inoffensive pop track with a hit of electronic influence, followed by a very easy to learn/sing along chorus and of course group vocals. The track even incorporates a children's choir (courtesy of West Los Angeles Children's Choir) which follows along the footsteps Passion Pit, who have basically mastered the formula [...]
![[EVENT] First Avenue Presents Youngblood Hawke @ Triple Rock Social Club (05/6)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4931331_lg.jpg)
If you haven't seen Youngblood Hawke , make sure you do not miss this show. In the past I have only seen them as an opener. But now, in support of their debut album Wakeup (released in April), they're headlining their own tour across the country. Wakeup picks up right where their debut five song EP left off. A string of poppy tunes that have the ability to appeal to rock and pop fans alike. I liken them to a group like Grouplove . High energy performances that catch unsuspecting listeners by surprise and have people [...]
