The fun-filled sound that fans have come to know and love is perfectly evident on the debut single "Live Life Loud," a sis-boom-bah opening anthem well suited to the band's get-this-party-started attitude. The album, LIVE LIFE LOUD, strikes a wiser balance than ever between the group's two core strengths: kicking out amped up jams and bringing social and spiritual depth to them. This fourth studio project features a wide range of co-writing colleagues--tobyMac, Matthew Gerrard, and Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch--also testifies to Hawk Nelson's true artistic versatility.

Next week (September 24th), Hawk Nelson kicks off their release weekend with the opening night of Skillet's "Alive and Awake" tour.
