HAWK have just released the video for their single ‘Glass’ which is based on the upcoming marriage equality referendum in Ireland… not your average subject choice for a noir-folk band but a totally commendable one. Speaking about the track, Lead singer/guitarist Julie Hawk said:
“During our Irish tour in April we met loads of people canvassing and raising awareness for the Marriage Referendum on May 22nd. Our date at Dolan’s in Limerick ran on the same night as a major LGBTQ party run by OUT in UL in the downstairs venue. After the gig, we met and spoke to a variety of passionate campaigners and their enthusiasm really stuck with us. We continued to see the same passion in Galway, Cork and Dublin. When we started playing ‘Glass’ we had the idea of a video that complemented the hypnotic nature of the track.”
