Wondertaker Records recording artists, The Flesh Hammers fronted by enigmatic provocateur, Blackie Crabtree, are a controversial, independent, and musically brilliant outfit who have succeeded in creating a sound all their own. The band was formed in 2003. Based in Northern Nevada, The Flesh Hammers, innovators of the current "Gutter Punk" scene play throughout the western states as well as regular gigs in their favorite city away from home, San Francisco. The band unleashes rawk at the rate of submachine gun fire. Ben "Smokey" Renken, from the Seattle music scene shreds scorching guitar solos. Blackie Crabtree, known as The Black Thrush on Bass and Vox, drives the songs to climax while drummer, Leif "Baker" Christensen, thunderously pounds his message to the listener's demonic core. Blackie comes from the Los Angeles strip where he cut his teeth playing clubs like The Whisky and The Troubadour. Leif's background has been a closely kept secret, even from us. The band's brand of "no holds barred" rawk energizes as well as stimulates the listener, mind and body. The songs are driving, witty, and heartfelt. LIVE they are a force that needs to be heard and seen to be believed. They released their first album, RIDING DIRTY in 2005. It was nominated for a JPF music award and contains APATHY PARK, the most requested song on KDOT's Backyard Show. Their second album was recently recorded in San Francisco at Rodent Records. It features guest appearances by Professional wrestler, Luster the Legend and Stagger G and Special Edna of The Grannies. Tentative release date for the new album is May 30th.
