Gypsyhawk – “Hedgeking” [SoundCloud Song Stream & Download]
Pasadena, CA’s Gypsyhawk have finally released the details for their forthcoming sophomore album, and Metal Blade Records debut, Revelry & Resilience. The band’s distinct personality is splashed all over Revelry & Resilience. Whether it’s the edgy and upbeat barroom swagger of “The Fields”, the balls out stomp wielded by the serpentine grooves and blistering leads of “Hedgeking” (inspired by George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Fire and Ice series”), the head-bobbing bounce and triumphant air of “Frostwyrm” or their crunchy yet soulful take on Johnny Winter’s “Rock And Roll, Hoochie Koo” the record crackles with energy while being wholly devoid of pretension, and on every level it is leagues ahead of its predecessor.
The Skinny: Pasadena, CA’s Gypsyhawk have finally released the details for their forthcoming sophomore album, and Metal Blade Records debut, Revelry & Resilience.

Martin’s “A Song of Fire and Ice series”), the head-bobbing bounce and triumphant air of “Frostwyrm” or their crunchy yet soulful take on Johnny Winter’s “Rock And Roll, Hoochie Koo” the record crackles with energy while being wholly devoid of pretension, and on every level it is leagues ahead of its predecessor.
