Meet “Adam and the Metal Hawks,” a band that’s electrifying the rock scene with their incredible energy, commanding guitar licks, and Adam Ezegelian’s show-stopping vocals. This group is creating a buzz on various social media channels, captivating audiences with their innovative and wildly entertaining cover performances.
Their fresh take on music, particularly on TikTok, has catapulted them to viral fame. Their videos, brimming with originality and raw appeal, have amassed millions of views. Take, for example, their rendition of the Guns ‘n’ Roses hit “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” which is nothing short of spectacular. Adam’s vocal prowess is on full display, but there’s a twist: instead of traditional drumming, they use plastic bottles and pots, ingeniously worn as headgear, to keep the beat.
The band is rounded out by John Barry on guitar, Alex Hertler on drums, and Ryan Daversa on bass, each contributing to the band’s dynamic sound. Adam, who made it to the top 16 on American Idol’s 14th season, joined forces with his bandmates in 2018. They launched their YouTube channel in September 2019 and have since grown a TikTok following of over 300K.
Their ascent to internet stardom is reintroducing rock music to the masses. Since their inception, they’ve been featured on Louder Sound, Philly Rock Radio, and The Shark, making waves in the music industry. The band is a fixture in New York City’s live music scene, delivering electrifying performances and promising to give their all on stage.
On April 17, 2020, they dropped their debut album under Illogical Records, marking a significant milestone in their career. This band is a powerhouse of skill and ambition, and they’re definitely ones to keep an eye on.
