Montreal, QC – July 9, 2025

WOODHAWK Announces Cross-Canada Tour For New Album “Love Finds a Way” Out Now!

+ LOUD AS HELL OPEN AIR FEST w/ REVOCATION, FIRST FRAGMENT and more!

L to R: Kevin Nelson (Drums), Turner Midzain (Vocals/ Guitar), Mike Badmington (Bass/ Vocals)

Portrait by Mark Kowalchuk

After five years of anticipation, Calgary’s stoner groove rock trio Woodhawk announces they will be hitting the road this August through October for tour dates across Canada (dates listed below). The show dates are in support of their latest and third album, “Love Finds a Way,” released on June 6th of this year via Grand Hand Records. Fans can expect a high-energy set packed with new material and favorites from their discography that will be delivered with the raw power and passion.

Their most personal and powerful release to date, their new full-length album, “Love Finds a Way”, marks a turning point for Woodhawk. Demonstrating their evolution from early stoner rock roots into something more emotionally complex while maintaining the infectious grooves and memorable hooks that have defined their sound.

“Love Finds a Way” explores themes of darkness, healing, and hope, while still delivering the infectious hooks and thunderous riffs fans have come to expect. With contributions from longtime collaborator Jesse Gander on synth, the band expands their sonic palette without losing their edge. The trio of Turner Midzain (guitar/vocals), Mike Badmington (bass), and Kevin Nelson (drums) poured five years of growth, struggle, and creative evolution into this record.

“We are over the moon to get this album out. Love Finds a Way is easily the hardest we have worked on an album to date. We poured our heart and soul into this one. It really is a journey of getting out of the darkness and into the light. Check in with your friends and loved ones. Hug the ones you love. Be nicer to each other. Love will always prevail and be stronger than anything else. After 10 years of being a band, I feel like we are still just getting started!” adds the band.

After a decade together, Woodhawk is proving they’re just getting started. “Love Finds a Way” is more than an album; it’s a statement of resilience, connection, and the enduring power of rock.

Recommended for fans of The Sword, Red Fang, and Thin Lizzy, the album is a dynamic journey from start to finish, balancing soft and heavy, slow and fast, light and dark.

“Love Finds A Way is a moving, introspective, and incredibly honest trek. Doubts and regrets are aired like candid confessions… The music moves the sentiment of these nine songs with a crisp, stalwart beat from drummer Kevin Nelson and robust bass rhythms from Mike Badmington (who also shares vocals throughout the album).The flow is undeniable in the closing number “Killing Time,” which is to me the gem of the collection. It’s about being gaslit in a relationship, waking up, and rediscovering a sense of self and is just so thoughtfully written from the catchy beat to the vocal phrasing and the guitar solo and addition of the piano… While I’ve made much to-do about the lyrical force of the album, it takes every member of the band to really pull it off and make us believers. Woodhawk is working like a well-oiled machine one EP and three albums into their career, making this a wholly convincing spin track after track.” – Doomed and Stoned

“Woodhawk built a reputation for themselves in the stoner scene, however you wouldn’t necessarily call Love Finds A Way a generic stoner record. There are certainly some fuzzy riffs, however the sound is more of a conglomeration of classic blues rock, some old-fashioned NWOBHM energy and a liberal sprinkling of 90s hard rock (especially in the vocals). But, the main thing that dominates is the GROOVE. With some frenetic guitars, an intense rhythm section and some funky keyboard action, groove is not only in the heart, it’s in the lungs, the kidneys, and the reproductive organs. Hell, it’s running more rampant through the body than a particularly virulent dose of the clap. With all but 3 of the songs clocking in over 5 minutes, these guys have the time and space to track down a killer groove and nail the little bastard down tight. A great album that gets better with each listen. As Haddaway once asked, ‘What is Love?’ …this is! 4.5/5” – Metal Epidemic

“Love Finds A Way is so damn catchy. Some of these songs will get very stuck in your head, and these guys understand melody, combined with hard rock, as well as any of the best bands out there. There is a bluesy feel at some points and a grunge vibe during others, but regardless of what you label it, this is some killer heavy rock… Love Finds A Way is some next level heavy rock. I hesitate to call it stoner rock, just like I would not call Valley Of The Sun stoner rock, but Woodhawk have created something special with the nine songs on their third, and best record to date. Love the vocals, love the riffs, love the organ, love the emotion, and love Love Finds A Way. 9/10” – Musipedia of Metal

“One of Canada’s best Stoner Rock bands WoodHawk make a welcome return with Love Finds A Way where the band play a more amplified style of Heavy Rock music with focus primarily on melody and aggression. Taking up the LOUD RAWK mantle of bands such as THIN LIZZY, THE SWORD, BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEPP. WoodHawk bring a soulful and highly energetic style of Classic Blues Rock into the mix… WoodHawk impresses on every level with Love Finds A Way which allows this record to be their best album yet which you will be listening to for a very long time to come. Add this record to your collection and if you’re a fan of Old School Heavy Rock then this is the place to be. Outstanding. End Of.” – Outlaws of the Sun

“Stoner rockers’ Woodhawk have just dropped their new single “Strangers Ever After” and it ROCKS! Heavy, driving and just spot-on as a great selection for the first single from their forthcoming 3rd album “Love Finds A Way” which is slated for a June 6th release (we’ve also had the opportunity to preview the new album and it’s pretty amazing). In the meanwhile, you can catch “Strangers Ever After” on your Home for the Best New Rock… W-J-O-EEEE” – WJOE – Findlay’s Home for Rock & Roll

“Even though “Love Finds A Way” opens up energetically as usual with ‘Grave Shaker’ and ‘Strangers Ever After’, the tension between the tried and tested band sound and further development soon becomes audible. On the one hand, the album sounds typically like WOODHAWK, we listen to heavy rock with a clear stoner side and rich guitar riffs, but on the other hand, the record seems more mature and serious. 8/10″ – PowerMetal.de

“Calgary trio Woodhawk have got that swing on their new single “Strangers Ever After,” which is the first single to come from their aspirationally-titled new album, Love Finds a Way, due out June 6 on Grand Hand Records. There’s classic-style, organ-enhanced boogie meeting with a modern production and tonal fullness, all aligned around a central push and tense sections of chug — skillfully wrought, melodic, clear in its intention to engage but not without expressive purpose either. It keeps its balance after spinning around in a few circles, and the solo is class before the bluesy verse returns to round out. Been six years, but that happens sometimes. Cool to have a new one coming from these guys either way. ” – The Obelisk (2025)

“Psychedelic Stoner Rockers WOODHAWK return from a six year slumber with their upcoming and absolutely stunning new album Love Finds A Way. With swirling Psychedelic melodies married with Grunge, Doom and heavy groovy soundscapes, this sees the band in inspired form.” – Outlaws of The Sun (2025)

“Woodhawk from Canada immediately conjures up appealing associations, with both stoner and seventies hard rock. It is catchy, can hold the tension quite well, and is skillfully performed… The songs themselves are often really strong as a whole; beautiful lines, catchy hooks and just enough variation in the arrangements, with a very fine sense of timing. An album that certainly deserves a serious listen.” – Rockportaal (2025)

+ LOUD AS HELL OPEN AIR FEST w/ REVOCATION, FIRST FRAGMENT and more!

L to R: Kevin Nelson (Drums), Turner Midzain (Vocals/ Guitar), Mike Badmington (Bass/ Vocals)

Portrait by Mark Kowalchuk

Five years since their last full-length release, Calgary stoner groove rock trio Woodhawk unveils their most ambitious and personal work yet with “Love Finds a Way” available as of June 6th across all platforms. The album marks a significant milestone for the band, Turner Midzain (guitar/vocals), Mike Badmington (bass), and Kevin Nelson (drums), representing their longest creative process to date and showcasing a more mature, introspective approach to their signature sound.

“This is the longest it’s taken to put out an album for us, and I think that shows”, reflects Midzain. “We really took our time and did it on our terms. I think you get some really riff-rocking songs, but also a lot of hardship and honesty in them. We poured our heart and soul into this one. It really is a journey of getting out of the darkness and into the light. Check in with your friends and loved ones. Hug the ones you love. Be nicer to each other. Love will always prevail and be stronger than anything else. After 10 years of being a band, I feel like we are still just getting started!”

“Love Finds a Way” demonstrates Woodhawk‘s evolution from their early stoner rock roots into something more emotionally complex while maintaining the infectious grooves and memorable hooks that have defined their sound. The album brings ‘a bit more of the riff back’ while diving deep into lyrical content that explores the personal struggles the band has faced over recent years.

True to their philosophy that the album should be an experience from start to finish, Woodhawk has crafted “Love Finds a Way” as a cohesive journey with carefully considered dynamics, balancing soft and heavy, slow and fast moments throughout.

The album features contributions from longtime collaborator Jesse Gander on synth, maintaining the band’s commitment to their established sonic palette while exploring new emotional territories. It is recommended for fans of The Sword, Red Fang, and Thin Lizzy.

“THE ÜBER ROCK SINGLES CLUB DAILY PICK – WOODHAWK – STRANGERS EVER AFTER” – Uber Rock (2025)

“Their brand of this style sounds far more refreshing and has a modern rock ‘n roll kind of aura to go along, slightly ringing in signs of alternative influence. The end result is as if Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy had a child born in the age of Chevelle. With that said, this is immaculate. ” – Indy Metal Vault (Violent Nature – 2019)

“this is really the kind of rock that fans of classic U.K. metal in the ’70s will be instantly taken with. Sounds really good turned-up really loud, which is always a good test.” – Vancouver Sun (Violent Nature – 2019)

“Violent Nature kicks off with the slithering riffs of “Snake in the Grass,” which comes crawling up slowly before striking with a venomous fuzz-riffy attack, and a soaring, fist-raising chorus. “Weightless Light” gets my head nodding right away with a solid stoner rock riff, while giving off a pretty decent Monster Truck vibe in the chorus – I can see why they made it the pre-release single.” – Hellbound (Violent Nature – 2019)

“This is what music is about. When you put yourself out there, you connect with others on a deeper level and that’s always a win.” – The Music Below (Violent Nature – 2019)

“Violent Nature surpasses their debut and then some; the Rocky Mountain trio have harnessed the best of the past, given it a fresh coat of paint, made me smile and just enjoy rock and roll in its purest form…” – The Sleeping Shaman (Violent Nature – 2019)

“going by the lead single “Weightless Light” it seems like whatever they’re making the songs about, Woodhawk still bring the same sense of songcraft to their material, which is always good to know.” – The Obelisk (Violent Nature – 2019)

L to R: Kevin Nelson (Drums), Turner Midzain (Vocals/ Guitar), Mike Badmington (Bass/ Vocals)

Portrait by Mark Kowalchuk

Calgary, Canada’s fuzz rock trio Woodhawk announces they are performing on August 3rd, day three of this year’s LOUD AS HELL OPEN AIR FESTIVAL in Drumheller, AB alongside Revocation, Cyborg Octopus, Beguiler, Thirteen Goats, Famous Strangers, and more! Full details on LAH can be found at www.loudashell.ca.

“We are stoked to be playing Loud as Hell this year. And the same day as Revocation, no less! Such an awesome festival in Drumheller, and we are looking forward to bringing a nice afternoon rock n’ roll set to the festival,” adds the band.

Woodhawk is playing in support of their third studio album, “Love Finds A Way”, and their first full-length release in six years, following 2019’s “Violent Nature”. Woodhawk‘s distinctive fusion of classic hard rock and modern stoner metal continues to captivate audiences and earn them a devoted fan base who enjoy Black Sabbath, The Sword, Priestess, and Red Fang.

“Love Finds A Way is a journey through the last couple of years. All of us went through some hard times, and to no surprise, the pandemic wasn’t much better! We weren’t sure if we would continue being a band or not. But we prevailed and are stronger than ever. It’s about love and friendship. And getting through things together. Checking in on your loved ones and friends,” says the band.

Woodhawk has shared two singles, “Relapser” and “Strangers Ever After,” to build momentum for the June 6th release of “Love Finds A Way”, via Grand Hand Records. “Strangers Ever After” showcases the band’s signature blend of classic hard rock sensibilities and modern stoner metal influences, delivering the infectious grooves and memorable hooks that have earned them a devoted following since their formation in 2014. “Relapser” is an explosive track that showcases the band’s evolution while staying true to their foundations in heavy, riff-driven rock. It’s got the heaviness their fans expect, but with the emotional honesty that’s become increasingly important in their songwriting. This song especially captures that journey of struggling, falling back into old patterns, but ultimately fighting to move forward.

WOODHAWK Unleashes Powerful New Single “Relapser” From New Album “Love Finds A Way” Out June 2025

L to R: Kevin Nelson (Drums), Turner Midzain (Vocals/ Guitar), Mike Badmington (Bass/ Vocals)

Portrait by Mark Kowalchuk

Calgary, Canada’s fuzz rock trio Woodhawk continues to build momentum toward their June album release with today’s drop of “Relapser”, the second single from their upcoming third studio album “Love Finds A Way”, out June 6, 2025, via Grand Hand Records. The explosive track showcases the band’s evolution while staying true to their foundations in heavy, riff-driven rock. The band shares their thoughts on the single:

“This was one of the last few songs we wrote for the album. It really embodied this new step forward we were taking. Through all the growth and change we go through, it can be really defeating to feel like you fall back into old habits or patterns you are trying to get away from. These demons at the door are always there, trying to drag you back down. Nothing feels better than getting away from it. And nothing feels scarier than getting pulled back in.”

According to the band, “Relapser” represents the balance Woodhawk has always been trying to achieve. It’s got the heaviness their fans expect, but with the emotional honesty that’s become increasingly important in their songwriting. This song especially captures that journey of struggling, falling back into old patterns, but ultimately fighting to move forward.

“Love Finds A Way”, marks Woodhawk’s first full-length release in six years, following 2019’s “Violent Nature”, Woodhawk’s distinctive fusion of classic hard rock and modern stoner metal continues to captivate audiences and earn them a devoted fan base and people who enjoy Black Sabbath, The Sword, and Red Fang.
