Description
Having known each other since childhood, Hammer No More the Fingers, learned music together, played talent shows together, & in every sense, grew up together. For a short period not long ago, though, they separated, each hunting experience. Drummer Jeff Stickley went to Greenville, NC, attended East Carolina University & played bluegrass. Guitarist Joe Hall went to Brazil, studied music & cavorted with exotic beauties. Bassist & lead vocalist Duncan Webster went to New York City, met a girl (Jesse Smith, daughter of punk icon Patti Smith), started a band, & lost both to a savage breakup. He returned home, heartbroken, and called on his oldest friends. Stickley, flush with live performance experience, and Hall, armed with an arsenal of fresh, angular guitar riffs, eagerly rejoined their dear friend, and on New Year's Eve 2006, the clever, charming, and relentlessly enthusiastic Hammer No More the Fingers played their first show. Since then, the band has worked tirelessly, developing a rabid regional following and now, aided by the masterful production of J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios, they have released their debut LP Looking for Bruce on Churchkey Records. The band would have been hard-pressed to record a more impressive introduction: intelligent, frequently tongue-in-cheek lyrics, exceptional interplay among guitar, bass and voice, minimal frills, and maximum energy. Hammer will be on the road in support of Looking for Bruce for most of 2009, bonded to one another as always.
