Like a big ol’ 18-wheeler barreling down across the border, The Road Hammers are an
unstoppable musical force, bound and determined to deliver a trailer load of the toughest, coolest, real-est country music to come down that southbound pike in a long, long time.
Conceived as a side project by Canadian country star Jason McCoy and forged under the unforgiving reality-TV lights of CMT Canada’s “Making the Band,” The Road Hammers took on a life of its own from the very beginning.
“It was an unplanned pregnancy, and it was an experiment on camera,” McCoy says with a laugh. “But we’re all real happy with the baby. The thing with the TV series was this; if it flies, you’ve got a successful band to launch off of this thing, and if it flops, well,
everybody likes to see somebody fall.”
Needless to say, The Road Hammers flew, a lot higher than anyone, even the band
members themselves, ever expected. Those band members guitarist/vocalist Clayton
Bellamy and the world class, kickass rhythm section of bassist/vocalist Chris Byrne and drummer Corbett Frasz may have come together on camera, but onstage and in the studio the Road Hammers quickly formed the kind of greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts bond that every musican dreams of.
“The first time I saw Clayton Bellamy, he was playing in a beer tent at a Cowboy
Stampede,” McCoy recalls. “I thought he was a real good player with a good stage
