Beast Hammer
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The bass player and the guitarist (Tyler and Casey) met up halfway through their Junior year in high school. They both wanted to do something musically, and after Casey had recently failed an audition for a rival band, they decided to try to find a singer and a drummer to start their own band. The band that never happened was a culmination of Tyler on bass, Casey on guitar, Taylor singing, and some other guy named Matt doing drums. Since it never happened and Matt wanted to play guitar the band had to drop Taylor and Matt and was postponed for a short while. After school had ended, Tyler and Casey were in a Taco Bell down the street and in walked Scott. He said he would be interested in working with us and really wanted to get back into a band considering the band that had dropped him was the same band that rejected Casey's audition. Casey soon flew out on vacation to Arizona and Oregon for 6 weeks, so practicing would have to be put on hold again until he came back to Nebraska. Since July of 2009 Casey, Scott, and Tyler remained in need of a singer. In the last month however, after 4 failed attempts at finding a suitable vocalist, they found Nick Wesemann to be their candidate. And so it became that Beast Hammer was complete and heading to the recording studio with new found vocalist Nick tagging along.
