Hawk Nelson
Hawk Nelson is My Friend
Tooth & Nail Records
Grade - B

The title obviously plays on the social networking craze of MySpace, Facebook, and numerous other similar sites. The playful nature of the title is just a part of the youthful energy the band plays on. The only thing not totally juvenile, is the quality of the music which has evolved well over time. The new album shows maturity in the midst of the youthful fervor. The soundtrack is a balance of american rock and dose of their original punk influences. The twelve track CD is solid all the way through and I think it puts them in a comfortable position to keep doing what they enjoy (making and playing music) which in turn is good for the fans.
