J. Robbins and Joe Hall (on Hammer No More the Fingers, Jawbox, Burning Airlines, and more)

J. Robbins is likely a household name for any true music fan.  Joe Hall should be right up there with him.  Since 2006 his band Hammer No More the Fingers has been putting out rock with more hooks than a bait and tackle shop.  They are celebrating the release of their third LP, "Silver Zebra", THIS friday via Defend Vinyl Records, and will be throwing some release parties early november WITH J. Robbins and his incredible band.   It is in your best interests to listen to ALL of Hammer No More the Fingers's music, wherever you do that these days, as they have not had a miss in their catalogue so far; AND much of that has to do with their 15-year, working relationship with J. Robbins!   So this is a fascinating conversation for anyone in a band that wants to get an in depth look into the journey behind some of music's best offerings ever. Get all things Hammer No More the Fingers at their Bandcamp Page and tickets do their release shows at Rubies here. Keep on the up and up with J. Robbins music at his bandcamp page and make your record sound amazing by booking time at The Magpie Cage.
