[edit] History
Hammerbox was formed in around 1990 in Seattle. They released their first LP, Hammerbox on independent label C/Z Records. This album earned them the opportunity to sign to a major label - they signed to A&M Records and released their second album on it. However, despite the band's appearance at rock festival Endfest in Bremerton, Washington to support their album, it did not sell well and the band was dropped by the label. Carrie Akre left soon after to form Goodness, while Harris Thurmond went on to join Orbiter. Live EMP Skychurch, Seattle, WA, an album containing live material was released in 2005, long after the band's split.
