Lovehammers have carved out their own space in the Chicago music scene by their hard work and dedication to their fans. Described as The most Un-Pretentious Fuck-You Rock-N-Roll Band, this quartet has done their homework and is a breath of fresh air in this often-stale industry. Lovehammers have stepped up to put the spark back in modern rock and they`ve brought their welder`s torches with them. It`s about time a band has turned up with full guns drawn, ready to delve out some serious rock and roll without skimping on the sex and debauchery that grunge so foolishly discarded. Their latest release Murder on My Mind, which has independently sold over 8,000 copies, encapsulates the Lovehammers` arrival as an act that sweeps aside the mope for pure sweat and energy. Murder collects the best elements of grunge and hard rock with a twist of punk that stems from the pure adrenaline the band possesses. Singer Martin Casey has best been described as a cross between Mick Jagger and Axl Rose, while the Kourelis brothers man the rhythm section with a sex appeal that is reminiscent to the early days of rock-n-roll. At the same time, guitarist Billy Sawichik effortlessly rips through riffs and chords to complete this power quartet. Their latest sessions with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Bush, Pixies), allowed the band to feel and create their own sound.
