Nine Pound Hammer

The demolition continues… After an overwhelming response to recent sold-out reunion shows, the Kentucky-bred band Nine Pound Hammer (on hiatus since 1996) recorded NEW album of supercharged, gear-grinding, shotgun wielding rock'n'roll aptly named Kentucky Breakdown. Known for their steamroller brand of buzzsaw guitar country-punk and energetic live shows, these hellacious, garage rock shit-stompers like it loud and dirty.

"Real life has left us even more raw, bitter, and manic than when we were young pups," drawled Scott Luallen, the razor-throated lead singer. Guitarist Blaine Cartwright (Grammy-nominated lead singer of Nashville Pussy) said, "Now more than ever, with so much CRAP ROCK out there, and so many LIGHTWEIGHT ‘alt-country’ bands, we are pissed off and ready to show these little shits how it’s done."
