The Hawks Biography
There have been at least 4 bands with the name "The Hawks".
1. a Birmingham, UK based indie rock band fronted by Stephen Duffy, his first band after leaving Duran Duran. They released one 7" single, "Words of Hope/Sense of Ending", in 1980 before disbanding. Duffy would re-emerge 2 years later as Tin Tin and later as Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy and The Lilac Time.
2. an early 80's power pop band in the vein of the The Plimsouls and The Knack whose 2 albums, The Hawks and 30 Seconds Over Otho, are considered minor classics of the genre. Four out of the five members, keyboardist Dave Hearn, guitarists Dave Steen and Kirk Kaufman, and bassist Frank Wiewel, shared songwriting duties with only drummer Larry Adams opting out.
They had a minor hit on the first album with "It's All Right, It's O.K.", but neither album proved to be a huge seller and as a result, the band was dropped.
3. The Hawks was also the name members of The Band adopted as the back-up band for Canadian rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins. After some recordings as Ronnie Hawkins And The Hawks, the group left Hawkins and struck out on their own, as Levon And The Hawks (Levon being Levon Helm, one of The Band's singers and their drummer).
4. A vocal group from the early 50s.
