Nine Pound Hammer is back But have they been ever away ? I didn’t think so. This band truly invented the cow-punk genre back in the late 80’s and still is the uncontested leader of it. After having released a (sold out) new album “Kentucky Breakdown” in 2005, the band released a compilation – Mulebite Deluxe - of their best songs from their early years in 2006 They re-recorded them and added a few new songs, just to spice things up a bit. Blaine Cartwright, Nashville Pussy guitar player and singer, is enjoying the return of the Hammer so much he decided to vow and come back again in 2008 with a new album and another bunch of wild shows. So, yes people, here it comes, the long awaited, brand spanking new rocking album by the Hammers “Sex, drugs and Bill Monroe”… each song is a killer and is a true anthem to their hillbilly early days. That’s right, boys and girls, get ready to camp out with these cowboys and don’t forget to bring that 6-pack. People who have witnessed the shows on their last 3 tours know what’s up ! Breakneck songs about fast women, fast cars, fast guitars, bar-fights and hot BBQ sauce !!! Nobody leaves unharmed by the drill of Blaine’s deep fried chicken-scratch Les Paul, Scott Luallen’s towering voice that would re-sink the Titanic in a split second and the sledgehammer rhythm of Mark Hendricks and Brian Pulito on bass and drums. Consider yourselves warned; gents and lasses. The boys are grinnin', so grab yer linens!!!!! So, Gearheads, Southern-fried punkers, Hot Corn-Fed Girls, Grandpa Doc and Uncle Brooks, Headbanging Stockboys, Dirt Track Demons, Kissin' Cousins, Hayseed Timebombs, Meth-heads who live at the Cadillac Inn, Small-town Miscreants, Bootleggers! People who wanna go get a vanilla coke at the Big Dipper and spike it with Makers on the way out to Windy Hollow, come and check out the real deal in 2008. there’s only a handful of shows across Europe, so get that ticket early.
