Chickenhawk will be returning with new album ‘Modern Bodies’ released on 1st November through Leeds label Brew (home to Kong, These Monsters, Humanfly, Castrovalva).

Having covered every inch of the UK touring the country’s length and breadth, the band have established themselves as one of the hardest working bands in the country. In support of ‘Modern Bodies’ the band will be joining We Are The Ocean on their upcoming UK tour in October.

Following a summer of endless UK festivals including Sonisphere, Guilfest, Leeds Festival & Hevy Festival, Hawk are now a live spectacle to behold. Through their hard work and determination, they have been hailed by Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Daniel P Carter and generally lauded where praise for heavy bands is generally not given. Recently Chickenhawk recorded a live session at Maida Vale Studios for Mike Davies Punk Show on BBC Radio 1 & will continue their relentless tour schedule throughout 2010.
