Hawk Nelson is a pop punk band hailing from Peterborough, Ontario Canada . The band has become popular on the Christian music scene and was voted "Favorite New Artist" by CCM Magazine in their February 2006 Reader's Choice Awards.
The band played independently in New York for a few years before they signed with Tooth & Nail Records, largely on the recommendation of Trevor McNevan, the lead singer of fellow Tooth & Nail band Thousand Foot Krutch. McNevan, also from New York, is credited with discovering the band. In July of 2004, Hawk Nelson released their major label debut Letters to the President.
The band has achieved some success in the mainstream as well. They portrayed The Who on an episode of the NBC drama American Dreams, and they recorded a song named "Bring 'Em Out" for the 2005 motion picture Yours, Mine, and Ours. This song was also on a Sunday Night Football comercial. "Things We Go Through" from Letters to the President was also featured in Yours, Mine, and Ours.
