Live Life Loud with Hawk Nelson

|PIC1|The pop rock foursome premiered their debut single music video from forthcoming album Live Life Loud on MySpace.com last week.

The video is currently playing via a link on the homepage under the music tab of the social networking founder (www.myspace.com).

The fun-filled sound that fans have come to know and love is perfectly evident on the debut single "Live Life Loud", a sis-boom-bah opening anthem well suited to the band's get-this-party-started attitude.

The album, Live Life Loud, strikes a wiser balance than ever between the group's two core strengths: kicking out amped up jams and bringing social and spiritual depth to them.

This fourth studio project features a wide range of co-writing colleagues - tobyMac, Matthew Gerrard, and Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch - also testifies to Hawk Nelson's true artistic versatility.

Hawk Nelson kicks off its release weekend on Thursday with the opening night of Skillet's "Alive and Awake" tour.

This powerhouse foursome hailing from Canada has won the hearts of fans and media nationwide since their 2004 debut release "Letters to the President" with more than 600,000 lifetime sales and three studio projects later.

In 2008, "Hawk Nelson Is My Friend" debuted at No 34 on the Billboard Top 200 selling more than 18,000 units.

"Hawk Nelson Is My Friend" was also the top selling new release on the Christian album chart in addition to the comprehensive chart.

The album also successfully debuted on the digital store iTunes with a No 13 debut on the Top 100 albums chart on street day and remains on that chart one week later.

Also the debut single "Friend Like That" sold 25,000 digital copies up to street week on iTunes. The album artwork also received Grammy and Dove nominations for "Best Packaging".
