Hawklords were formed by Dave Brock and Robert Calvert in 1978 during a period of Hawkwind inactivity, and then reanimated for a benefit gig in 2008. With guitarist/keyboard player Jerry Richards picking up the baton, they’ve kept going, having purloined the secrets of the mothership.
In fact, Relativity – their 11th album – is the sound of a Hawkwind from an imagined future, or maybe the sonic essence of a previous line-up lost in space. The current, Richards-led line-up transcends any suggestion of being a mere tribute act: they share far too much of the same DNA to be anything but an errant sibling.
