So, it's been a month and half of another month already into 2010 and I still haven't posted anything from this year yet. Really it's because I've been holding out on posting this record (the band was supposed to put up a link for download but haven't yet), but I don't really feel like waiting anymore. Anyway, I've mentioned these dudes a few times before but I'll give you the run-down again: Hammers are a UK hardcore band who play d-beat/crust punk in the essence of His Hero Is Gone and Tragedy. I recall them having a quote written somewhere that went something like "too punk to be metal, to metal to be punk" and I think that sums them up pretty well. Anyway, this band is way good and this LP kicks ass on top of looking brilliant. The covers and b-sides are screen printed by hand. I don't know if they have any of the black copies left (there are 100), but I managed to pre-order this, and I'm really glad I did. The other version is white with black screen printing. In addition, you may already know, but Hammers are planning to release a split 7" with Dolcim on React With Protest (which should be out any time) and a split 12" with Alpinist, which somebody at ADAGIO830 told me they would be handling (but it's a ways off). You can't play with bands like that and not rule, so give this a try if you dig hardcore.
For fans of: His Hero Is Gone, Dolcim, Alpinist
Hammers on Myspace
Get it.
