Hawklords / 25 Years On (1978)

Hawkwind split in March 1978, but Brock and Calvert were soon heading up a new band

that built on the legacy of the last one. Hawklords (also referred to as 25 Years On) is the hidden gem in Hawkwind’s back catalogue, an album of starkly arranged dystopian pop that exudes humanity, both angry and compassionate – in many ways,

a classic new wave record. Psi Power is arguably their finest piece of songwriting, with Free Fall and 25 Years not far behind.
