Nashville, United States (1998 – present)

Cool Hand Luke is an group from Nashville, Tennessee, and was initially formed by Brandon Morgan and Jason Hammil in 1998 while they attended Middle Tennessee State University. A punk rock influence showed itself within the band’s early music, although the range and scope of Cool Hand Luke’s sound changed quickly after Mark Nicks joined the band. Their more underground early efforts put them in the punk/emocore category, but since signing to Floodgate records in 2003, their sound has mellowed and branched out. The band’s current sound is more of a melodic art-rock that reminds some people of a less focused Radiohead or a more diverse Coldplay. Despite some mild critical success and their tendency towards worshipful lyrics, Cool Hand Luke remains fairly unknown. In 2008 they inked a deal with Lujo Records who released their new album, The Sleeping House, on October 14, 2008.

    Just saw Mark on Friday. As always it was good and inspiring. There will be another album (I think next year). Until then, you can download a compilation album with the proceeds going to cancer, which includes a new version of Nobody Hugs a Rose here: http://onjoyfulwingsmusic.blogspot.com/

    Hell, come to Oklahoma! Fires Of Life is possibly one of the greatest cds of all time. A bit too Christiany at times, but it's such a beautiful masterpiece. The Balancing Act was kinda ehh, but all was well when The Sleeping House met my ears. Keep making music!!!

    Does anyone know from where I can purchase their first two EPs?

    These guys are awesome. Lyrics that make you think and great music along with that. The drumming is great too. I didn't think they would ever put an album out that I enjoyed more than Wake Up O Sleeper but The Sleeping House may be that album.
