Hawks and Doves (Gared from Planes Mistaken for Stars) hit the studio

Contributed by tonynoidea. Posted by jesse on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 5:00 PM (EST)

Peoria, IL's Hawks and Doves, featuring Gared O'Donnell of Planes Mistaken For Stars, is set to enter the studio to record the band's debut album with George Rebelo Hot Water Music / The Draft on drums and Chad Darby Averkiou on bass. Gared had this to say:

As it stands the songs are shaping up to be more of a full band approach and less singer/songwriter than I initially thought, which is fine seeing as there are plenty other acoustic beardy guys doing the genre right? That is not to say you won't get a bit of my more rustic side. It's inevitable that this project will get it's share of comparisons to Planes and that's fair {being I sing/play git/write the songs} but I must say in regard to that its shaping up to be kind of photo negative of a Planes LP.

The band will enter Crescendo studios on January 14th to record nine tracks with Derron Nuhfer and Addison Burns. The band previously released a seven inch at last year's The Fest for the song "Hush Money."

MattRamone (January 6, 2009)

We don't see that logo as much as we ought to.

baldsteve (January 6, 2009)

truth, I'd like to see it tattooed on your face.

MattRamone (January 6, 2009)

I'd like it on my shoulder.

baldsteve (January 6, 2009)

sounds fair

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

You should tattoo it on the back of your head.

That way I have something to look at.

MattRamone (January 6, 2009)

When and where, homeslice?

MyStereoHasMono (January 6, 2009)

So fucking stoked for this. PMFS 4 LIFE

Preston (January 6, 2009)

I liked that song on the Fest comp.

Wentz_Equals_Death (January 6, 2009)

i met that dude at the fest! beat that, pressed-on

spoon_of_grimbo (January 6, 2009)

i met him outside a record store, we were randomly chatting and i didn't even recognise him until he introduced himself and it suddenly clicked! in all fairness though, the last pic i saw of him, he had really long dark hair and a beard, and he's cut it short and shaved now. really friendly guy though, really down to earth.

can't wait for this btw. if it's anything like the last track on "mercy" (practically a gared solo track), it'll be all kinds of awesome.

DUSTYNCDS (January 7, 2009)

gared is a dick, has always been a dick, and will always be a dick. dick.

jeremyRVN (January 6, 2009)

does anyone else think this whole leave-your-band-to-become-a-fokk-hero thing is getting a little ridiculous. I mean I will openly say that I like a few songs by the guys on the revival tour but put all together it's just silly. Are we to believe that these guys have had bluegrass/folk/country running in their veins all this time and just now we are hearing about it? ben nicholls is the exception obviously. I'm just saying a trend is a trend even if it does in some way involve the dudes from Avail and HWM

shot_in_the_dark (January 6, 2009)

It's very possible that all of these guys really are getting back to their roots. Look at where most of them are from. Anyone from the south or southwest gets a free pass.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

Most these guys grew up in the south, and where you come from surfaces in what you do artistically eventually, at least thats what I feel.

It's not like most of these guys came out of the woodwork with it. Country/folk music have always run very similar parallels, and I don't mean modern country music when I say that. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and the the whole "outlaw" country music is very similar to the roots of punk rock as it is.

Most of, if not all rock based music falls back onto the Blues, Bluegrass, Folk and Country music anyhow, so I don't think it's just necessarily a fad as much as it is getting back to basics.

BarleyPat (January 6, 2009)

Agreed on all points. This isn't really a fad. The punx have always liked Johnny Cash, Hank, ect...

It's just that recently, they've decided to start playing it more instead of just listening to it.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

I think a lot of that has to deal with the fact that really to be quite honest, there hasn't been any real variance in punk rock in such a long time, and now every body wants to wear eyeliner and chugga chugga break downs, and I think it's just a proper response by stripping away all the bullshit and just playing.

SloaneDaley (January 6, 2009)

I wouldn't say it is strange for Chris or Chuck from HWM either, they did Rumbleseat after all. There was as time passed a rootsy feel to Avail in certain songs.

I still prefer most people's original bands but if they started bringing these folky or rootsy elements into their regular bands people might complain.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

Thats a great point.

I remember that interview recently where Chuck said he'd always been into it, but it hasn't been until recently they could get away with it.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

P.s Don't leave us.

shot_in_the_dark (January 6, 2009)

At least the name's better than Git Some.

Phish12 (January 6, 2009)

amen...I wouldn't like the Beatles if their name was Git Some.

thinkerthought (January 7, 2009)

Git Some rules.

colin (January 6, 2009)

so so stoked

although with gared i'd almost like him to do more acoustic stuff. i doubt he'll be in a full rock band better than planes.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

I agree. I'm kind of on the fence about the PMFS break up, in that part of me feels they broke up prematurely while the other part of me feels along the lines of "always leave them wanting more"

Up In them Guts is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

Missing someone is bullshit.

Someone cheer me up with their sorrow.

Wentz_Equals_Death (January 6, 2009)

i haven't showered in like 40 hours

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

Really? How come? Hows that working out for you?

Wentz_Equals_Death (January 6, 2009)

no job, no girlfriend, sitting at computer all day, smelling like balls

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

The American Dream.

You alright, pal?

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

The only thing I like in my life right now is.....ummm.....Hawaiian BBQ chips. Because it reminds me that I will be in Hawaii in 2 weeks!! Oh shit, I failed.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

Wait, really? Thats awesome dude. Take pictures!

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

No doubt, it will give me an excuse to dust off the camera, I've never been there before. I doubt I will have any money to do anything there, but who the fuck cares.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

Thats how I usually travel.

I get to visit like...the coolest girl in the world next month out in California, and I'm flat broke. But who cares, it'll still be awesome.

dlangl4 (January 6, 2009)

Camp in the mountains near a volcano

mikexdude (January 6, 2009)

I felt a lump on my 3rd testicle.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

Are you sure it isn't just MattRamones hand?

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

Sure it's not your penis?

MilesQToast (January 6, 2009)

sure it's not mattramone's penis?

dlangl4 (January 6, 2009)

Are you sure it was your testicle?

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

Is it weird that my 40 something year old aunt added me on facebook? If the next step is my mom, I'm out.

mikexdude (January 6, 2009)

Wow, I didn't know you were a 16 year old girl.

Wanna' go out sometime?

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

I fail to see how this works.

MilesQToast (January 6, 2009)

he'll show you.

mikexdude (January 6, 2009)

I'm just messing. I think Facebook and social networking in general is stupid... but I only have like 6 friends in real life so oh well. Bitter me.

MilesQToast (January 6, 2009)

bitter me than you

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

I do too, but I've lived in a bunch of places and keep track of friends through these things, so there's that.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

I didn't get the nickname Halebait by being a cougar hunter.

Preston (January 6, 2009)

Happened to me. I never thought it would, but it happened. Hey mom, look at the interesting things I can smoke drugs out of.

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

I've resorted to keeping my shit tame. Friend's comments might be my real killer.

BarleyPat (January 6, 2009)

Same here. Aunts and older relatives are killing it for me. My mom is thinking of joining, at which point, I too will be done.

The shitty thing is that they have nothing better to do than send me all the gimmick bullshit features like "I just put up a (fake) Christmas tree. Would you like to too? Here is an ornament for your tree."

They also feel the need to send me endless friend suggestions of people I have no interest in adding. My wife's aunt added me and now she sends me friend suggestions for people that are like HER third cousin or some such bullshit.

Facebook/Myspace should not be allowed for old people, they ruin it. Stick to snail mail grandma.

Dudley_Shale (January 6, 2009)

My mom tries to scope me out on myspace all the time, but she doesn't have an account.

Cheesetits (January 6, 2009)

I can only wonder if my mom ever has tried.

BarleyPat (January 6, 2009)

I'd like to point out here that in my 21 years as a person who is involved with the underground metal, punk, and hardcore scenes, I have never been a "Thug", nor has my friends Paul, Ron, Or John, the other members of Deathcycle. As far as some of us wanting to be old school, thats just what we are. And in 21 years, not much has changed. The hardcore scene, especially, is still filled with wash-women and armchair quarterbacks that need to make themselves feel more important by talking shit about people they don't even know. If the "thug" comment is directed towards Paul and John for being past and present Madball personel, I'd like to correct you. John and Paul are just simply great musicians, and if you don't like Madball, that is your problem. And I really don't give a flying rat's ass who likes Deathcycle and who doesn't. We existed to play music and to make people think, and we have succeeded in that. We will all continue to play music in some form, and hopefully people will like it. Whoever doesn't "get it" can kiss our asses. From KYI on thru to what we are doing now, we NEVER gave a shit what anyone thinks of us, and that hasn't changed. So go ahead, continue to hide behind your screen names and talk shit, while we do something exceptional with our lives. We have done and accomplished and been involved with things that you can only sit around and daydream about, and THAT is why you have to just exist to be shit talkers.
For those of you who care, Deathcycle's last show is on Feb 28th at The Rockstar Bar in Brooklyn. Check out www.myspace/deathcycleny for more info.
For those of you who wanna talk shit, you know where to find us if you wanna discuss hardcore some more.

dlangl4 (January 6, 2009)

"For those of you who wanna talk shit, you know where to find us if you wanna discuss hardcore some more."

It's always violence with these thugs.

14theroad (January 6, 2009)

The 7" is awesome. Has some of my favorite art ever on it too. Stoked as fuck.

thinkerthought (January 7, 2009)

Sweet. I can't wait to hear it.

jamespastepunk (January 7, 2009)

A photo negative of a Planes LP? It's the same outline of everything, but the brightness and darkness are reversed, right? If so, that means this record is going to be all about kittens, rainbows and chocolate milk...

Jokes aside, I get the feeling this record is going to rule.
