Album Review: Hammer No More The Fingers - Looking For Bruce

In a world where indie pop-rock is ever-expanding, it's not difficult to lose sight of the past generations of the genre. Hammer No More The Fingers not only remembers the sound of indie music in the 90’s but also demonstrated their dedication to original influence with their release Looking For Bruce, a record that could easily be mistaken as a product from that time itself.

Looking For Bruce starts off with “Automobiles,” a drum-driven song that immediately draws the listener in. With raw but clean vocals, Duncan Webster and Jeff Stickley are pleasant to listen to throughout the entire album, and their lyrics are just an added bonus. As Webster’s vocals fluctuate while he sings, “Don’t know how hard it’s been, living without a friend, in the center of the world” on “Shutterbug,” it's clear the band has a lot to bring to the table.
