June has been busy with many awesome bands hitting the U.K especially post Lockdown . This has been due to heavy rescheduling and being festival season .

Hawxx is a 4 piece all female London band featuring Anna, Julia, Hannah Jessica originally hailing from Wales, England, Greece, Bahrain  and as they say on their media they aim to bring inclusivity and diversity in a very male orientated genre .

It Is the first time I have heard about this band so I am looking forward to the unknown. Hawxx are first on and from the get go the venue is pretty rammed.

Their sound with the use of 7 and 6 string guitars is very powerful and I would liken their rhythmic guitar and bass to Korn etc but overall they certainly have their own sound .

The vocals are mainly a good melodic style and the band reinforce this with some well crafted close harmonies .

Being a drummer myself I was particularly impressed with theirs . Some great trippy grooves and cool timings .

Sometimes the band went a touch prog .

The lead singer did a great job at warming the crowd up and certainly didn’t hold back  .
Hawxx have a far more original sound than The Raven Age etc. so I can see them doing greater things.

A few minor points , I think they could use the stage more as they were all planted to their spots a bit too much .

I also think they just need a few more bangers in the set . I’m sure this will come as they are relatively a new band.

Would I see them again? Yes definitely a band to watch !

Were they a good girl band? NO…. They were a very good band and could kick most blokes arses off the stage ! I look forward to seeing where they go!
