Hammer on Rome-the industrial multimedia circus from hell!

Young punks and metal-heads in the last century, the guys from H.O.R have been hammering out hard rock and metal riffs since long before Seattle even heard of Nirvana. Northwest born (or cursed) they write and rehearse amongst the dumpsters and dark alleys of industrial Seattle. Growing up, fighting trends, songwriter/programmer James Kruize is no scenester or hipster follower, but a certifiable rocknroll frikkin' fanatic. His Les Paul slingin' sidekick Chad Hawkins, is no dergie chord strummer either. His fierce chuka-chuka assault has cracked the plaster off soundstages all over the country. Huge guitar and real acoustic drums have always been this team's formula for power. With Chad and JFK's giant rhythm guitar/drum domination, Nezmond Styles contrasts the crunch with smooth, gravity defying vocals while the bottom end is nailed down by monster bassman Frankie (the Machine) Radciffe. The music is hard to categorize, while it has the enhancement of samples and synthesizers the only thing "industrial" about H.O.R. is their home location and use of sounds. Hammer on Rome has pulled off some pretty amazing shows that incorporate props, live actors, and robots but probably won't be seen on MTV anytime soon.



	Little Mark Records is announcing the re-release of Hammer on Rome's first album! "Re-" meaning the CD was available in 2000 but was never pushed in any way. The turbulent band situation of Hammer on Rome was complicated and short lived. Personal and legal issues kept the CD out of any real circulation for years but this year Little Mark proudly endorses this amazing recording and invites you to the "industrial, multimedia circus from hell." A picture says a thousand words and these songs create a thousand pictures. Recorded and mixed at DiPietro Sound, the 10 songs are full of samples and effects but the main emphasis is on the drums and guitars. You can listen to the free sample clips on this page.

	UPDATE: At the present time Hammer on Rome is defunct. The band broke up before 911 and later James Kruize joined famed glam band the Sea City Dolls, Nezmond Styles is working on a solo project but it's not clear if any of the other band mates survived the breakup musically. The one CD they did record is an epic endeavor sounding like a big budget recording. The songs range from dark and cynical to optimistic, dealing with important issues like self mutilation and sex with aliens. H.O.R. invites all of you to see and hear for yourself. NEW! SEE ALL THE HAMMER VIDEOS AT YOU TUBE! AMAZING! AWESOME! INCREDIBLE! For a full promotional package, videos, or more Information on H.O.R. email J.F.K

	"This Seattle band has a heavier, edgier, more modern sound that's like The Cars with the hard rock pop stylings of Cheap Trick. But don't get thrown off by my mention of The Cars above. Hammer On Rome doesn't so much sound like the Cars as they remind me of The Cars. Okay, I know I'm confusing you. Let me explain: Hammer On Rome, like the Cars, have their own sound, a rock'n'roll sound that is unique only to them. Eclectic songwriting (there's a Cars term for you) and a fresh approach to a hard rock'n'roll sound make Hammer On Rome worth searching out. In addition, the CD demo is incredibly well-produced."-Rough Edge 00-
