Press Reviews "The members of Hammertown may come from a small town in Ohio, but their screaming hard rock sounds as epic as any downtown..." , "...(they) have honed a blistering blend of crystalline vocals, muscular guitar chops and inventive rhythmic arrangements, placing them at the stylistic flashpoint between heavy groove bands like Disturbed and more musically minded rock acts like Queen or Foo Fighters. -Cornerstone Festival- http://www.cornerstonefestival.com/newbandshowcase.cfm These 3 tracks are so good, it leaves you panting for more! The music is superb, the riffs are just fantastic, and the vocals! What can I say about it!!! All the guitar work on this album is really just fanstastic riffs that stay in your head forever, and are just basically cool. Its all very modern metal, but does it in a way no-one else has yet managed! And the vocals! I'm just speechless! This guy is the best singer I have heard since Tool. There arn't may people out there in the current music industry who really have a talent for good metal singing! But Hammertowns Jason Sickles is that special one in a million! Its not just the music that makes this special though. The production is fantastic! It sounds more professional than most of the professional bands I have heard! Its just simply fantastic! I'm sorry to go on, but its just so good I can't stop! Reasons to buy this: (1)Its some of the best and most original music you will hear this year, (2)You can say "I liked them before they were famous!", which they certainly will be VERY SOON!..." -God's Holy Mosh Pit- http://www.godsholymoshpit.com (album info)
