Hawk Eyes complete the second round of Jäger Curtain Call

Leeds alt-rockers Hawk Eyes have been confirmed as the final act to join the second round of Jäger Curtain Call, making them the sixth band to visit the studio, record a new track and play a live show all on the same road in 2016.

Earlier this year, DIY teamed up with Jägermeister for Jäger Curtain Call; a project designed to lend a hand to bands at an undeniably important point in their careers. Taking place on Curtain Road, which is home to many iconic labels, studios and venues, Jäger Curtain Call is about providing bands with the opportunity - whether that be through recording, making videos or playing gigs - to make their next step really count.

Back at the start of the year, Brighton trio Birdskulls, Nottingham thrashers Kagoule and Wales’ majestic Cut Ribbons all took part, before Bellevue Days and TRAAMS joined proceedings during the last two months. Now, Hawk Eyes have paid a visit to Strongroom Studio to lay down a new track.

“It was good for the four of us to actually be in a studio together again for the first time in over a year,” the band’s frontman Paul Astick told us, after their visit to the Curtain Road studio. “The day was a bit of a whirlwind; trying to remember how to play the guitar was the biggest challenge for me, and I can’t speak for the rest of them. Strongroom is a really great set up though, and the team were very friendly.
