PROPTER HAWK UNLEASHES RAGING NEW SINGLE “SORRY!” – A SELF-LOATHING

ANTHEM FOR UNDERACHIEVERS

Hard-hitting rock & rollers Propter Hawk are back with their latest single, “Sorry!” – a blistering, no-holds-barred number about the frustration of failing yourself. Fueled by distorted guitars, pounding drums, cavernous vocals and unfiltered emotion, the track delivers a gut-punch to anyone who’s ever felt like they’ve come up short.

“Sorry!” isn’t just an apology—it’s a scream of self-reproach, a furious self-interrogation wrapped in bluesy licks and bellowing vocals. The song blends the aggression of classic British blues rock with the modern intensity and refreshing musical outlook Propter Hawk is known for.

The track delivers Propter Hawk’s signature mix of retro rock goodness blended with deeply personal lyricism and fans of the Jeff Beck Group, Led Zeppelin and Queen will find themselves right at home in the track’s visceral elements. "We wanted this song to feel like a psychedelic blues explosion" adds Brian Derro, the band’s nimble fingered bassist. Despite its title, “Sorry!” makes no apologies and sets the stage for Propter Hawk’s busy upcoming tour schedule. “We are excited to release the EP in June and are really proud of the quality of songs we’re getting out there. We’ll be playing across Canada this year in a busy summer festival season and hope to connect with as many rock loving music fans as possible!” mused lead vocalist Malorie Jo Blake.

Produced by Carlin Nicholson and recorded at Toronto’s Pineship Sound, “Sorry!” is the follow up to the band’s political anthem “Time Won’t Wait”, and the title track from their upcoming EP set for release in June of 2025. The Toronto based rock ensemble has experienced an exciting start to the year with international radio play, a sold out release show and national TV feature, and now looks forward to another issue of their signature musical numbers.

Join Propter Hawk in rejoicing your inner aimlessness with the release of “Sorry!” on all streaming platforms and at their single release show at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, Canada on April, 4, 2025.

Established in 2020, Propter Hawk is a rock and roll outfit from the ambiguous corners of Toronto, Ontario. Commixing influences and sounds, Propter Hawk is Humble Pie, The Beatles, The Band and Otis Redding tossed in a burning barrel at the dark end of an unmarked street. Resurfacing from the pandemic with a plethora of material, the band laid down their finely tuned tracks at Pineship Sound in Toronto with Carlin Nicholson and Mike O’Brien of the staple Canadian rock band Zeus. Employing vintage gear and a live horn section, Propter Hawk established the foundation of their sound on their debut, self titled record. After the release of their 3 singles (Theatre Of The Whole World, Telephone, and Clean Old-Fashioned Hate) and now a full length album, this fiercely dedicated and experienced group of musicians is ready to reveal their distorted vision of a new era of rock and roll.

Mike Zogaria - Almost Worth The Wait CD review

Almost Worth The Wait kicks off with Someone To Sing To. This song is a upbeat and catchy rock tune with a strong vocal line. This song beat out 30 other songs to win a free video shoot through the website Promoting Buffalo. The song has a 90's sound and is my favorite on the CD.
Check out the very cool video https://youtu.be/mJy_LZyLwkE
Gray is up next and features Mike on harmonica and Mick Hayes on slide lead guitar. The song has a classic rock feel. I really liked the cool harmonica outro.

Make It Up To You is a smart, mid-tempo rocker that features Mike Vealey on drums and keyboards. Mike keeps the groove flowing with some sweet acoustic guitar playing.

Pistol starts off with some melodic harmonica playing by Mike. Pistol is a acoustic rock love song with plenty of sexual innuendo thrown in to keep the lyrics interesting.
Youtube link https://youtu.be/NjLHxs4EL3I
Rock Star Parking is a all out hard rocker that features a ripping guitar solo and a sweet rock guitar outro.
Youtube link https://youtu.be/er_b9mVNsr4
My Misery is a ballad that highlights Mike on a great acoustic guitar intro. Heartfelt lyrics carry the song through a couple of cool rocking parts that keep the energy flowing.

Come Home is a uplifting and well composed acoustic rock song.
Youtube link https://youtu.be/xb84A2hObtE
Something More continues in the same vein as My Misery as Mike carries the song through with some nice acoustic guitar playing combined with soulful lyrics.

When Goodnight Means Goodbye is a uptempo rocker that packs a punch.
Youtube link https://youtu.be/ozu4SIrixuc
Goodnight has a different mix than the rest of the songs and another acoustic rock song that includes a bongo track to keep the beat. Mike and his brother Mark wrote this song together.
Youtube link https://youtu.be/reTrJPeHx5I
The bonus track Time also has a different sound than the rest of the CD. Time also features Mike's brother Mark on bass and lead guitar and Mike Argento on drums, piano and he also engineered the song.
