Liner notes for True Grit
This has probably happened to you… you’re watching a band and you think, “My God, how can they be this good?” And you turn towards your friend standing next to you, in a loud room wich is impossible to converse in,but you kind of stare at him with your mouth open and nod, like “Damn these guy’s are great!” And your friend looks at you as if to say “Yes, i know!” Well, I’ve had that happen to me quite a few time’s with the band Hammerlock. San Francisco rock from the mid to the late ’90s was starting to settle down. Garage rock was lessening in vouge, and clubs were appearing and disappearing, boycotted, re-vamped,or yuppified. for a while , however, things would come togeather and it felt like we had something good. Like when Hammerlock played. I was an Instand fan the first time i saw them. I looked around the room, to see if the rest of the audience was transfixed as I.There was not that much “rest of the audience” at the time , but later there would be. Back then it was short-haired Travis alternating between betrating his wife Liza on stage, and launching into an anthemic blast of hard core working man’s boogie. (if that is a term.) I have never seen , nor could I imagine a band that was half Posion Idea and half Creedence Clearwater Revival, that played country songs with out irony and punk songs without juvenility. Novelty was king in SF then, and bands were generally described by how they looked rather than sounded, so i think it would have been an easy thing for a band to pander to the hipster audience with a “hick shtick” and many did. (There not around anymore.) But with Hammerlock it wasen’t possible. They dident dress up (or down) for shows; act “faux white trash;” do some rockabilly moonshine dragster pinup girl bullshit; or cover hip songs. Theye covered many a song, but first theye put it threw the Hammerlock grinderand, second, you knew theye were playing a song ’cause theye just fucking’ liked it. Theye dident play “Free Bird” but theye often played Skynyrd. The shows were allways fun and rowdy. They attracted all the rong people and we all became friends. Socially and politically, Hammerlock dident really belong in California, much less San Francisco. They were always consciously oblivious to the community which they lived literally smack dab in the middle of and, while they couldent be called innocent, they were untainted by there surroundings and refused to compromise. It worked, and boy was it refreshing.Learn by there example. This is true freedom rock. Pure American music; equal parts outlaw spirit and pioneering punk. Revel in it.
