The White Zone is for loading and unloading only...Welcome to 1995 and the first, and only, episode of Binge Warriors as we deep dive into singular album by Hawkwind under that particular moniker. And what an intriguing deep dive it is too, this being something of a forgotten item, glossed over by most of the media in the history of the band.As ever, we check out the music and artwork from this quirky little release, while also adding tracks to the forthcoming Hawkbinge Sessions Vol 6 playlis...
Fresh from our sojourn to the present to react to the release of the latest album "Stories From Time And Space", Hawkbinge returns to the 1990's to get back to the canon album deep-dives with "It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous" from 1993.As ever, we look at the music scene of 1993, (warning: some of the biggest tunes of the year are absolute shockers), look at the state of the band, check out the cover artwork and, of course, we chat about what's been on our turntables re...
The Hawkbinge voyage through the 90's continues with the epic "Electric Tepee". An album almost as long as the podcast that covers it, this one features Hawkwind's biggest step into techno and electronics yet. It's a marathon, not a sprint...As ever, we delve into the big releases of 1992 featuring the big chart hits of the year so we can see what musical environment Electric Tepee was launched into, check out the state the band at the time, and check out the album artwork.

And so, with the `Chronicle of the Black Sword finally concluded, Hawkwind end the 1980's with The Xenon Codex, and so Hawkbinge brings the curtain crashing down on season 2 with a deep dive into this enigmatic little gem. As ever, we look at the music landscape of 1988 (Rick Astley "Never Gonna Give You Up" best single at the '88 Brit Awards... yes, that's where we are). We also have a rather special piece of cover art to dive into, and a tour programme from that "mad professor's laboratory"...
A "Live Chronicles" bonus special episode, with a very special guest...You can't really talk about "Chronicle of the Black Sword" without talking about "Live Chronicles", the live record of the tour that brought all of Hawkwind's Moorcock-inspired furore to the stage, with dancers, sword fights, readings (occasionally from the man himself), and more sword fights. One of the best tours ever? Hawkwind's 'Spinal Tap' moment? Bit of both? You decide... We are duly honoured to spend a ...

The Church of Hawkbinge opens it's doors once again, and everyone is welcome!Yes, the oddity that is Church of Hawkwind in the focus this time. Regardless of whether one considers it "Hawkwind canon" or not, (Wikipedia says it is, and that's good enough for Hawkbinge), it's a key moment in Hawk history and a really fascinating album to deep dive into.In this episode Andy & Matt start by recapping the global sensation that was the Hawkbinge Sonic Attack Ultimate Death Match Tournament in t...
Do not panic!Hawkbinge returns with the long-awaited Sonic Attack episode. The record label has changed, so has the line-up and so has the music. Ginger has gone. So has Tim.

Do not waste time blocking your ears!In this episode Andy & Matt look back on the new releases from 1981, , choose tracks for the Master and Ses...

The Hawkbinge NEW YEAR SPECIAL episode!We're at the end of 2021 and we find Hawkwind at the end of Calvert's tenure, the end o f their Charisma contract, at the end of the 1970's and possibly at the end of the band. What better time to take stock of the state of play both with Hawkwind, but also with Matt, who has been taking this first-time journey through the weird world of Hawkwind experiencing 9 studio albums and multiple changes along the way. What does he make of it all?And, if we're go...
"This is the last but one"So reads the cryptic message on the back of PXR5, the final Hawkwind studio release of the 1970's, the final release with Robert Calvert and the final release on the Charisma label. It's also the final release of season 1 of Hawkbinge but not the final Hawkbinge release of year - watch this space...In this episode Matt & Andy explore the music of 1978, the somewhat nebulous status of the band at this point, choose tracks for the Sessions and Master Playlists on S...
Hawkbinge: Reality you can rely on.Yes, Hawkbinge is back! Or is it Bingelords? If so, why? And what will it be next time?All these things and more in this episode as Matt & Andy explore this album released during a most confusing period of Hawkwind history.

Hawkbinge is back with no less than two hours of Quark, Strangeness and Charm. Yes, once more our attempt at being concise has resulted in a dramatically longer episode than the last. In this episode: Hawkwind's influence on punk is discussed as we enter 1977 and those Calvert lyrics are the focus of much of the album chat.Andy & Matt go thru some messages from listeners and choose tracks from other bands they've been listening to for the Hawkbinge Sessions Playlist as #3 gets under...
Hawkbinge was last seen back in 1976, moving steadily towards 1977 and the forthcoming "Quark, Strangeness & Charm" episode (in edit mode as this is written). Then, boom! A new Hawkwind album drops. We are scheduled to arrive at "Somnia" for a full deep-dive episode in mid-2024, but clearly this new Hawkwind music needs to be addressed... So, we fired up the DeLorean and traveled 44 years into the future, making a stop along the way to pick up our first ever Hawkbinge guest, gave the albu...
Hawkbinge weighs in with a mammoth 115 minute podcast about this transitional and rather divisive album in the Hawkwind discography - there's just so much to get into about this music and the rather sliding-doors time period in band history. Several references to Banks' & Abraham's excellent coverage of this fascinating chapter. Where do we end up? Surprises await.We also have a bit of an addendum to the Warrior on the Edge of Time episode thanks to corrections sent in from listeners lear...
