We recently had the privilege to check out “Feel Me” from Boston based band Girl With a Hawk . “Feel Me “ is dedicated Justine Covault, the late Red on Red Records founder and Boston music scene champion. Girl with a Hawk was previously signed to Red on Red, and “Feel Me” channels the raw emotion and sadness the band has felt since Covault passed away unexpectedly over the summer.

We love everything about Girl with a Hawk . We love their sound their vibe . We also love their passion which is front and center in their music, especially on “Feel Me”

We never had the pleasure of knowing Justine Covault However, based everything we have heard about her, she was a true pillar of the Boston music scene . Her music and her love for the Boston music will no doubt be her legacy that will continue to live on.

For Girl with a Hawk, the Boston band led by indie scene veteran Linda S. Viens, the past year has been highlighted by a blur of massive highs and the lowest of lows. It started in December of 2022, when the late Justine Covault asked Girl with a Hawk to join her emerging indie label Red on Red Records, releasing a new single and video for “Same Stars” a few short weeks later. Over the summer, Covault unexpectedly and tragically passed away, while Girl with a Hawk’s second single on the label, “The Romantic,” was enjoying success across the blogs and digital radio, helping to earn a New England Music Awards nomination in the “Rising Stars: Massachusetts” category.

Nearly a year after Covault’s invitation, Girl with a Hawk are preparing their debut EP, Keep ‘Er Lit, set for release on December 8, with a party that night – booked before Covault passed away – at The Burren in Somerville. But first comes a new single, an upbeat synth- and guitar-led yearner called “Feel Me,” dedicated to Covault and her impact on both the band and its members, out today (Friday, November 17) on the band’s new home of Rum Bar Records.

“Feel Me “ has a real cool throwback/ new wave sound . Vocalist Linda S. Viens, gives a powerful and flawless vocal performance that gave us chills . We could definitely feel the love and emotion on “Feel Me”
