Known for their raucous, over-the-top fusion of punk rock, hard rock, country music, and hillbilly iconography, Nine Pound Hammer were one of the formative bands on the "cowpunk" scene that paved the way for alt-country in the late '80s and early '90s. Innitially calling it a day in late 1994, in 2000, Scott Luallen, Blaine Cartwright, Matt Bartholomy, and Bill Waldron played a pair of Nine Pound Hammer reunion shows, and by 2004, Luallen and Cartwright decided it was time to give the group another try. With a new line up NINE POUND HAMMER returns after 7 years with a brandnew studio album called "Kentucky Breakdown". The fifth release by the notorious Lexington, KY quartett featuring orininal members Scott Luallen and Blaine Cartwright (who went to work with NASHVILLE PUSSY after NPH split) sees them roaring bachk to form because" "Real lifehas left us even more raw, bitter and manic than when we were young pups" and "...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". Produced by Dave Barrick this album is here to prove one thing: NINE POUND HAMMER - often imitated, never equalled. 20th Anniversary Vinyl reissue from Cowpunk originators, NINE POUND HAMMER, featuring original members Scott Luallen and Blaine Cartwright (Nashville Pussy).
