Driven by escalating guitars and production, Nighthawk’s new single ‘Right Time’ is strong step into 2018 from one of Melbourne’s exciting new crop of artists on the scene.
The sounds that Nighthawk have been cultivating over the past year speaks lovingly to the path well paved by the likes of Echo and The Bunnymen, Simple Minds and even Toto. Textured production and lyricism that remain long after the record’s release cycle. In ‘Right Time’, we hear a band comfortably in their pocket, bringing soaring guitars together with shimmering and vibrant synth work; this is a band who have come together at the, as the song details: right time, right place.
Of course, the history of Nighthawk is one steeped in Australian music. Damian Costin (drums) and Patrick Robertson (vocals, guitar), as part of Motor Ace, were an integral part of the country’s alt-rock scene in the 2000’s. With Flynn Wheeler (guitar) and Rhys Thompson (bass) completing the line up, Nighthawk are well positioned to bring more new music into 2018, alongside a much anticipated break into the live circuit as well; the official launch of ‘Right Time’ is coming Melbourne’s way next month.
