Maybe it's bullshit, but we heard some members of the Durham/Chapel Hill trio Hammer No More The Fingers have been playing together since they were ten -- circa 1994, reportedly rocking all originals minus an Archers Of Loaf cover. If you do the math, that puts them in their earlier twenties and currently making '90s-sounding NC indie rock that evokes the Archers in some sense, but has shades of various sorts merging in the mix. Their self-titled debut EP came out on Power Team in in mid-November -- after the jump we have two standouts from it: "Fall Down, Play Dead" and "Vodka Grasshopper" -- and they're planning to record a full-length in May with J. Robbins. Guitarist/vocalist Joe Hall, vocalist/bassist Duncan Webster, and drummer Jeff "Stick" Stickley already create a big sound for three, so we're intrigued to see what happens under Robbins's watch. (As an aside, man Jawbox were great.)
