The band was formed by Ricchard, after leaving his old band the Red Rush in the summer of 2005, to try and create a pure English style rock and roll group. After a slow selection process, Christian and Arlek have since had a hand in the band.
In the beginning the band was called HELLRIDER, but later changed to HAMMER.
After some auditions to find a valid singer, Ricchard decided to become the singer of the band himself as well as the bass player. So in the end of summer, when the band finds it's identity in these three guys, it's story starts.
