What the critics are saying:
“Afraid of Love” beautifully takes our daydreaming into a 60’s movie soundtrack of every feel good film we have ever seen. The PondHawks bring people together through their music, just as The Beatles did…” – The World News Network
“The PondHawks harmonies are beyond this world and their musicianship is tight and powerful.” – Entertainment Eyes
“The PondHawks new song “Afraid of Love” itself is closely Beatle-esque. The lyrics are poetic and the instrumentals full sounding yet it flirts with a slight electronic sound that adds to the totality of the track. The keys sound exceptionally strong and inspiring.” – Indie Pulse Music
“Rich tones, full sound, British-esque harmonies….fun! “Afraid of Love” by the Chicago based duo The PondHawks is refreshing and extremely well-orchestrated. The up and coming band has a huge social media following and “Afraid of Love” is so fantastic it is easy to see why they are the number one indie band in the world on Reverbnation.” – Daily Geek Report
