Hawkbinge

Reaction Pod Crew - assemble! We get back into the DeLorean and return to the present day, stopping only to pick up Mr Joe Banks on the way, so that we give our hottest of hot-takes on “Psychedelic Selection”: the new release from the mighty Hawks! You will join us after we’ve played the album only a couple of times and done some rapid note-taking on Friday morning, and I’m sure thoughts around th...

A new season, a new decade, a new millenium - yes, Y2K is here, and Hawkbinge returns to deep-dive into Spacebrock - one of those odd ones that might be a canon Hawkwind studio album, and might not. However, Wikipedia says it is, and so here we are. Not an familiar album to Andy, let alone Matt, so join us on a journey to remember... 2000 turned out to be a year of massive album releases, so we ta...

GOODBYE SEASON THREE! Our time in the 1990’s comes to an end, and we wrap up the decade in the company for the one-and-only Mr Ian Abrahams, esteemed author of “Hawkwind: Sonic Assassins”, which has been such a huge resource for us on our Hawkbinge journey. We have a fun, sprawling chat about all things Hawkwind in the 90’s and each select our favourite ‘orphan tracks’ from the decade: those songs...

Hawkbinge returns (!) with “In Your Area”, the final entry of the 90’s and a curious release which is one side live and one side studio. The live side recorded at the end of the ’97 tour, and the studio side being comprised of efforts laid down the following year. Is it a canon studio album? Andy would say no, but Wikipedia says yes, and so here we go… So that’s one side of studio recordings which...

Reaction Pod Crew - to the DeLorean! Andy & Matt race back to the present from 1997 and pick up Joe along the way so that they can give their combined initial reactions to this latest Hawkwind release. NOTE: Andy, Matt and Joe have managed to give the album several listens before jumping on a Zoom call very early the day after the album dropped and then handed over to Matt to madly edit this t...

The Hawkbinge journey through Hawkwind releases from the 90's continues with 1997'a Distant Horizons, an album about which almost nothing good is ever said. Fans don't like it, the buying public of 1997 didn't like it, reviewers don't like it, even the band themselves beat this one up with pretty much every reference.  Will Matt & Andy find any rays of light in the dar...

HAWKBINGE RETURNS with a monster of an episode: so much Hawkwind news to catch up, the big release from 1995 to dissect and the big bonus of a chat with our good friend Joe Banks about his most excellent new Hawkwind book “Sideways Through Time”. Prepare to abducted by the Hawkbinge podcast and not returned to reality for several hours… So, we’re still in 1995 for Hawkwind’s second release of that...

The White Zone is for loading and unloading only...Welcome to 1995 and the first, and only, episode of Binge Warriors as we deep dive into singular album by Hawkwind under that particular moniker. And what an intriguing deep dive it is too, this being something of a forgotten item, glossed over by most of the media in the history of the band. As ever, we check out the music and artwork from this q...

Fresh from our sojourn to the present to react to the release of the latest album "Stories From Time And Space", Hawkbinge returns to the 1990's to get back to the canon album deep-dives with "It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous" from 1993.As ever, we look at the music scene of 1993, (warning:  some of the biggest tunes of the year are absolute shockers), look at the state of the...

The Hawkbinge Release Day Reaction Pod crew assembles to give the hottest of red-hot hot-takes on the latest from the Hawks, "Stories From Time And Space", which dropped today! A journey in time for us for sure, from 1992 where Hawkbinge was last seen - it's good to give the DeLorean another run out. Please note: Andy, Matt and Joe have managed to give the album a couple of listens, jumped on...
