Media have raved about the new album, line-up and music behind Made. Check out some of the interviews with Steingard on JesusFreakHideout, NewReleaseTuesday Insider Podcast and this month's CCM Magazine. Here are examples of what the media are saying:

"Made is undeniably catchy, unabashedly truthful and honestly quite hard to stop listening to. It's easy to be a skeptic and write something off without giving it a chance, but when you do, you miss out on something special. Don't let that happen with Made, because you might just miss one of the best albums of the year."
-JesusFreakHideout

"It may be a new season, but what hasn't changed is the band's commitment to delivering melodic pop-rock with a deeper message and a focus on fun."
-Rhapsody

"The new album is marked by positive and powerful pop anthems and lead single 'Words' is the best example. While the band still holds a bit of its youthful zeal, these guys have definitely grown up."
-CCM Magazine

"Made makes Hawk Nelson Fly"
-Crosswalk

"Their passion for God is as apparent as ever and this music is a great fit to CCM without sounding watered down or copycat."
-New Release Tuesday

"Hawk Nelson have delivered one of the strongest (lyrically and musically) albums of the year so far. Well done Jon Steingard and the rest of the band for creating some of the most powerful songs of the year!"
-Indie Vision Music

"Made is one of my favorite albums of 2013. It is clear that the boys of Hawk Nelson are now men, and the album closer is a part of a picture of how far they've come as Christians and as people."
-Christian Music Zine
