Through these four songs the band successfully defines their own sound that will resonate with anyone who has an appreciation for well-written indie pop. - The Equal Ground

"On the Beet With Meadowhawks"

"A four song offering that bursts with energy" - Neat Beet

"Review of 'Stowaway' by Meadowhawks"

"...Meadowhawks showcase a maturity of musicianship not found in many groups that have been together for years or more. The songwriting displays the band’s jazzy discipline that stimulates both an intellectual ear and a foot that’s just itching to dance." - Medusa's Musings

Bio

While most bands' stories begin in the heart of an urban epicenter, Meadowhawks story begins in Upstate NY's wilderness and their sound has never left there. Formed in the heart of the Hudson Valley, the members of Meadowhawks met while attending Bard College and came together after singer/guitarist (and drummer during recording) Ryan MacLean composed what would become the group's eclectic debut EP. MacLean sought to marry his love of hook driven indie/garage rock with jazz harmony into a sound as mammoth as the Catskill Mountains themselves. Released on July 20th 2014, the band's debut EP was recorded at Rhinebeck NYs Clubhouse Studios (the room responsible for The National's 'Trouble Will Find Me') and mastered at NYC's Sterling Sound. In the words of music blog The Equal Ground: "Through these four songs the band successfully defines their own sound that will resonate with anyone who has an appreciation for well-written indie pop."

In the fall of 2014, Meadowhawks embarked on a hugely successful fall tour which included shows at Brooklyn's The Trash Bar, O'Brien's Pub in Boston, Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia and a well received set at Hastings NY's Take Me to the River Festival. The band plans on continuing its momentum into 2016 by releasing its 2nd EP, "Wild Suburbia," which was recorded at Woodstock NY's Dreamland Studios. Yet no matter what stage they stomp on or what they create in the studio, Meadowhawks core philanthropy is not only to prove that music still has worth, but to propel it into the future. You're in for a wild ride ladies and gents.
