It's great fun and lightweight in a good way. These guys don't take themselves too seriously and lets face it, there are plenty of earnest young bands around there at the moment if we are in the mood for that kind of stuff.
Taking their name from the Herman Wouk novel, Youngblood Hawke are in fact Sam Martin and Simon Katz who, apparently exhausted after two years of touring with Iglu and Hartly, decided to form a creative outlet where they could write and perform music for the enjoyment of friends and family without commercial pressures. They were later joined by 3 more friends, Tasso Smith, Alice Katz and Nik Hughes.
On their Facebook page it says "Youngblood Hawke captures the sound of 5 friends in mid-journey. It is the snapshot of a state of mind where one mountain has been climbed and there are more in the distance. But for right now, the view is beautiful." Fair enough.
