We Are One ~ Hawklords

Hawklords is a British space rock band. The band started as a one-off ensemble of musicians formerly associated with Hawkwind, and playing Hawkwind covers. Although the band uses the same name as the short-lived 1978 incarnation of Hawkwind, it is not a reunion or tribute, though three of the original 1978 Hawklords members (Bainbridge, Griffin, Swindells) were in the band when it reformed, but are not currently members.
We Are One Review by Fred Thomas
We owe it to the Hawklords for supplying us with one of the more convoluted chapters of space rock history. An odd splintering/spinoff of the legendary Hawkwind, the similarly named band floundered around confusingly for a year or two in the late '70s before dissolving into solo projects or rejoining Hawkwind to go on into future decades. Then, We Are One somehow arrived 34 years later, embracing the same proto-punk space rock synth freakouts of their earliest days. Revved-up biker rock with touches of spacy production come in the form of tracks like "Mothership" and "Time Split Vision," while longer, mellower tracks like "Event Horizon" explore the more introspective but equally interstellar side of the group.
