The Warhawks: New Jersey’s Rock Revivalists Dominate with Anthemic Hits and Unstoppable Energy

New Jersey’s own The Warhawks are steadily proving themselves to be one of rock’s most exciting new acts, blending explosive energy with anthemic melodies and a DIY ethos that’s resonating with fans across the country. Bursting onto the scene with their signature gritty rock and roll sound, the band’s latest single “Slow You” captures their raw intensity while charting a new sonic direction. But they’ve also been breaking records, with previous singles “Domino” and “Parade” both hitting #1 on the iTunes Rock Chart, solidifying their place in the modern rock landscape.

From Basement Shows to National Recognition

The band—comprising Matt Orlando (vocals, guitar), Pat Bilodeau (vocals, drums), John (vocals, guitar), and Tom Lipski (bass)—hails from Gloucester City, NJ, and their journey from local venues to national recognition has been nothing short of meteoric. Despite the success of “Domino” and “Parade,” The Warhawks remain grounded, fueled by their love of music and connection with fans, who have been there since the early basement shows and bar gigs.

Staying Grounded Amid Success

Pat reflects on their rise, saying, “Charting at #1 was an incredible feeling, but it’s about more than just the numbers. We love making music that people connect with, and sharing that experience live is what we live for.”

Electrifying Live Performances

And share it they did, most recently during a high-octane performance at The Bitter End in Manhattan, NYC. The Warhawks delivered a fiery set that included fan favorites “Parade” and “Domino,” alongside their latest single “Slow You” from the newest project Wellness Check, proving they’re a force to be reckoned with both in the studio and on stage.

Evolving Sound in ‘Wellness Check’ Series

The Wellness Check series—released in three parts—sees The Warhawks evolving their sound while staying true to their rock roots. The latest single “Slow You,” which now has an official music video, shows off their ability to craft both introspective and anthemic tracks. You can watch the video for “Slow You” here.

New Partnership with Blue Collar Records

The Warhawks recently signed with Blue Collar Records, a partnership that has already hit the ground running in bringing the band’s creative vision to life. The label, known for its dedication to authentic talent, is helping The Warhawks expand their reach and amplify their anthemic rock sound. “From day one, we saw their potential to shake up the rock scene, and we’re thrilled to be part of their journey.”

A Breakout Year with ‘Wellness Check’ Trilogy

Their breakout year also includes the release of Wellness Check parts 1, 2, and 3, which offer a powerful mix of reflective lyricism and explosive instrumentation. You can listen to the full Wellness Check series here.
