about
Crazy Love Hawk is a 5-piece progressive metal-core band from the Oklahoma City area. The band was formed by Matt Nguyen and Shaun Ladymon as a 2-piece easy-core/happy hardcore project in late 2011. They released early demos of the project in March and April of 2012. Their debut full-length album "Keep Moving Forward" was released in January 2013 with Matt and Shaun writing and recording all the instruments as well as the vocals. The style was referred to by some as "Disney-core" since all the songs on the album were tributes to either Disney movies or other animated movies. By March 2013, they began playing shows acquiring Max Young on drums and a couple fill-in musicians on guitar and bass. Matt performed harsh vocals and Shaun did clean vocals. In June of 2013, after Max left to pursue other endeavors, the band finally attained a full set of permanent members, which has remained mostly unchanged since then with Mike Bauer on drums, Jonathan Cameron on lead guitar, Ian Harms on rhythm guitar, Shaun Ladymon doing clean vocals, and Matt Nguyen doing harsh vocals. With this new lineup, the band self-produced its first music video in August of 2013 for their song, "Where's My Super Suit." In early September of 2013, they were the first band to release a metal-core cover of "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus. Shaun was currently working for a music magazine and was sent the song for review 2 weeks before it was released to the public. That afforded them the time to track the cover
