Hot on the tail feathers of last year\u2019s debut album from Hawkestrel, the project spearheaded by former Hawkwind bass player Alan Davey, comes this brand-new album from the quintessential Hawkwind supergroup! Made up of more Hawkwind alumni than any previous project, Hawkestrel is truly the next evolution of this legendary British rock legacy. The new album,\u00a0Pioneers Of Space<\/em>, continues the sci-fi adventures with a mix of original compositions and bold covers including the wildly adventurous version of Post Malone’s megahit \u201cCircles\u201d featuring some stellar guitar work from Hall Of Fame nominee Todd Rundgren. And Rundgren isn\u2019t the only special guest here; also contributing their talents are former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, prog legend David Cross, electric violinist L. Shankar, wild man Arthur Brown, MC5\u2019s Wayne Kramer, and lots more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


For a taste of what\u2019s in store, the first single from the album \u201cDay Of The Quake\u201d is currently available on all digital platforms. The track is a complete revamp of a rare early \u201880s recording from Hawkwind\u2019s much loved poet laureate, Robert Calvert. Davey enthuses about the track saying, \u201cFrom the lyrical genius that is Bob Calvert comes \u2018Day of the Quake.\u2019 This masterclass of English poetics gets married up to some up-tempo exciting music I wrote with the one and only Mick Taylor guesting on lead guitar and the legendary Nik Turner on sax. Get ready to rumble!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
