What is Hawk Nelson ?

Hawk Nelson is a Canadian melodic pop-punk quartet.

In 2006 they portrayed British classic rockers The Who on the popular NBC television series "American Dreams."

It's been less than two years since Canadian pop-punk act Hawk Nelson released its debut full-length, Letters to the President, but the band's list of accomplishments read like the quartet's been at this sort of thing for more like a decade.

In that time span, Hawk Nelson has landed a television appearance playing The Who, performing "My Generation" on the NBC television series "American Dreams," a big-screen performance in the remake of the 1968 film Yours, Mine & Ours (starring Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo), music placement on "Smallville," "Summerland" and the Summer 2004 Olympics commercials, well over 100,000 in album sales

You won't find any mentions of Jesus on their new album, but the guys in Hawk Nelson are serious about their faith and reaching out to hurting teens in their fanbase.
