The Hammers were formed after a talent show at their local junior school where Matt (guitars), Mick (bass) and Tom (drums) performed without a singer. Later in the bill Jordan performed a solo slot; impressed by his performance, the others asked him to join and a legend was born.

A flurry of gigs followed, playing with local bands including Radio One faves Alcopop and Foxy Ramone. Drummer Tom was soon replaced by Dan, the youngest member of the band but certainly not the quietest! Their enthusiasm, ability and love of loud noises soon attracted interest, and they were asked to record their debut single “When You Go Away” at the local Newton Cucumber recording studio. This was released by Big Badger Recordings, part of R*E*P*E*A*T Records, and has now nearly sold out.

As a result of the single the boys were interviewed live on local radio and in the press and were invited to play the enormous Party in the Park event in the middle of Cambridge. Six months later the CD achieved more than anyone dreamed possible, it led to The Hammers being asked to play live to a million viewers on Blue Peter!

Despite all the attention and adoration, the band are keeping their feet firmly on the ground. They are currently working on their follow up single, and playing gigs around Cambridge. If you want to get hammered, contact the band and keep in touch
