Canadian pop punk team Hawk Nelson prepare 'Hawk Nelson Is My Friend'

CANADIAN four-piece Hawk Nelson will release their new project 'Hawk Nelson Is My Friend' in April. The CD packaging will include a "board game" for their fans and the special edition CD/DVD will include a more elaborate game. Said the band's Jason Dunn, "Going into this record, we sat down and thought about how we've always had this mentality of not so much winning fans as making friends We want to be clear that we're all about being on the same level as the audience." Added bass player Daniel Biro, "The album title is also what's printed across the front of our most popular tee shirt. And there's a little joke in there, because so many people still think 'Hawk Nelson' is some guy's name." 'Hawk Nelson Is My Friend' was produced at New Jersey studio House Of Loud by David Bendeth (Paramore, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus).
