NIGHTHAWK around Robert Majd (g, METALITE, CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD) with their third effort. This time the Swede is accompanied by Linnea Vikström (v, THUNDERMOTHER), Robban Eriksson (d, THE HELLACOPTERS), Peter Hermansson (d, 220 Volt), Nalle Påhlsson (b, TREAT) and Richard Hamiltion (keys, HOUSTON). Beautiful, authentic hard rock with balls as well as strong hooklines played by real experts. Two covers (e.g. AEROSMITH) and a live version of "Just Let Go" complete the picture here. A record like a wonderful time travel into the seventies. Massive! (MS)

Nighthawk was formed during the pandemic by bass player Robert Majd (Metalite, Captain Black Beard) as a project where he got to play some guitar and work with different musicians.
2024's "Vampire Blues" is the second album and features Linnea Vikström (Thundermother) on vocals, Robban Eriksson (The Hellacopters) & Peter Hermansson (220 Volt) on drums, Nalle Påhlsson (Treat) on bass and Richard Hamilton (Houston) on keyboards.
It's a compilation of fast paced, spontanious, action rock n roll songs with two covers; Aerosmith's S.O.S. (Too Bad) and Sam & Dave's Hold It Baby (featuring Danny Hynes from Weapon).
Nighthawk's second album was called "Prowler" and was recorded at the world famous Abbey Road Studios. It was hailed in the press and featured Björn Strid (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra) on vocals.
A fourth album was recorded together with Björn at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales, late 2023, and will be ready for release soon...
