My band’s doing old-school country covers at the Roots Café in two weeks and making them extra punx. Does anyone have any suggestions?
For the record, we already do Wanda Jackson and Johnny Cash covers.
Shady Hawkins made #8 on Flavorwire's list of Ten Great Female-Fronted Punk Bands You Should Know. »
Pop-tinged melodic punk is all very well, but sometimes you really just want to hear some really fucking loud guitars and lots of shouting. Step forward Brooklyn trio Shady Hawkins, who are only happy to oblige — their songs sound like they were recorded in the garage, and are all the better for it (notwithstanding their amusingly self-effacing Bandcamp bio: “fuck it, we’re better live”). And, of course, we’re all for puntastic band names that riff on celebrities. We can’t find any of their stuff on YouTube, but check out their five-song EP Sucia!
From our show in Philly tonight:
Bro: Why don'tcha talk about FOOTBALL?!
Me: Well let's talk about my foot in your balls and we have a deal.
Me: Fucker.
Heeeey so if any of y’all are in Philly, Shady Hawkins will be playing a show there this weekend! Let’s hang.
SHADY HAWKINS // SUCIA
5 new songs, that I just mixed to sound extra dirty. Download it for free (but donations very welcome!) at our bandcamp.
Hey y’all, so I was profiled in Stylecaster’s feature about girl musicians! (You also might be able to tell which look I styled— think new wave and Miami kitsch.)
That awkward moment when you google your own band and find a picture of yourself looking like a sweaty werewolf.
Did my nails for a photoshoot of lady musicians at Stylecaster today. This kitty’s got claws. (Although, it’s really impeding my ability to type and text.)
But I’m also stoked for our show tonight! JD Samson will be DJing afterward and we will all have a blast.

Shady Hawkins, “WRATH”
It’s a song I wrote about street harassment. It’s only a demo, and I might add a bass track to it, but expect our full demo release some time over the holidays. (PS, thanks to Cameron for recording us!)
