On the title track and opening song of their fourth album, Hawk Nelson urges its listeners to “Live Life Loud.” That sentiment, founding member Daniel Biro notes, is “as Hawk Nelson as Hawk Nelson can be.” Live Life Loud. It’s not just a matter of volume, mind you; it’s a philosophy. Part of living at the extreme that title suggests is embracing all of life, accepting and even celebrating a little pain and darkness and finding a way to let it enrich life.

This powerhouse, pop rock foursome hailing from Canada has won the hearts of fans worldwide having sold over half a million albums since their 2004 debut release Letters to the President. Hawk Nelson made a cameo appearance in the hit Nickelodeon film “Yours, Mine, & Ours,” where they played their original song “Bring Em Out,” as well as having their songs featured on the Hit TV show Smallville.
