About Hawk and the Hoods

Three long time friends and three diverse musical backgrounds collaborated, forming Hawk and the Hoods in July of 2005. Hawk: vocals/guitar, Rob DeBruyne: bass & Jeff Lamers: drums. Before the creation of this diverse sound, never before had Hawk and Jeff ever dreamed of getting together to jam. Though they've been friends for years, their musical tastes had always clashed. Rob has played with both of them in various bands but never in the same one. Until now! Hawk has a generally natural approach in song writing. Though he is a bold and extreme to the point singer song/writer. His song writing is as enjoyable to play as it is catchy to listen to. Rob has a powerful, eccentric soul with ability and talent. He is as complicated as he is simple. With Hawk's influences in punk/alternative music, Jeff's rock groove and together with Rob's funky bass, finally sat down. And a marvelous thing happened. An alternative rock sound with folk acoustic flavor, a twist of blues and punk was created. A sound that works and music that flows.
