We weren’t kidding when we said unapologetic. There’s something really nice in this day and age to begin discussions around what music means to us without fear of being reprimanded for having an opinion that is different from others. Whether it be for musical reasons or anything else. We all get a right to tell our story.

The only rule, be respectful.

Having an opinion is allowed for sure, but whats not acceptable is to spout hate, fear, dislike & negative judgements in an effort to influence others to see life the same way we do. Nighthawks is all about finding the good in every artist and the music they produce. Whether it be Pop, Metal, Electronic or Classical, everyone is creating and shaping music in their own image. So we figure it’s a base level of respect to acknowledge that everyone is doing their best.

Our mantra? Make sure that if the actual artists read their own review, they wouldn’t leave feeling shit house. It’s a simple concept, but something we believe is a defining aspect of what we do. So when we say ‘unapologetic’, what we’re referring to is that we have no need to make excuses for not bagging out artists in an effort to sound educated or worth reading.

Sharing our experiences about how music influences us has been the key to opening new doors to hearing different artists and music we may never have had the opportunity to before. Its nigh on impossible to be exposed to everything. So we hope that by reading these reviews, you might resonate with some aspect of our experiences and begin searching a little more because if its one thing that ties all of the reviewers together at Nighthawks, its that we all are actively engaged in searching for music that moves us.

Sharing great stories about music…what could be better than that.

Enjoy,

Latest Reviews


Daft Punk


The two groundbreaking French boys who turned out to be 'the' dudes who set the bar. [I'm still jacked I missed the Alive Tour]

John Mayer


John Mayer's ability to shape the heart on his sleeve with his pop/blues creations is a rare gift that might just keep you sane.

Nick Drake


Nick Drake's melancholy brilliance has garnished a cult following that's grown over time and seemingly doesn't have an end.

Soundgarden


A band that undeniably shaped music and everyone who listened to it in the 90's. No two ways about it, they fucking rock. Hard.

Billy Joel


He worked his way into the hearts of millions with brilliant songwriting and a face that only a mother [and a dorky 80's teen boy] could love.

Incubus


Crossing genres to put a spin on the way rock can be both seen and heard. Totally underrated. Totally capable of anything.

The Roots


Intelligent. Prolific. Political. There are many words to describe these dudes. I just like to refer to them as fucken awesome.

Miles Davis


Reclusive, groundbreaking and brilliant. An enigma rather than just a regular musician, he became the poster boy for cool jazz everywhere.

Led Zeppelin


Led Zeppelin has shown time and time again why they are commonly known as the Grandfathers of Rock n' Roll. I tend to believe whoever says that.

Tom Waits


This behemoth of a songwriter is not everyones cup of tea. But to be entirely honest, we love him so much, kinda don't give a shit.

Jeff Buckley


The geniuses genius, this remarkable musicians early demise seems to be finely balanced against a global appreciation of masterful songwriting.
