Hammer Down
Soul-infused 70s hard rock with railroad grit. 100 BPM groove driven by Tony “TNT” Delgado’s explosive drums and Reggie “The Rail” Burns on bass. Rod Mill’s fuzz guitars grind against Rico Vance’s punchy brass lines, with warm keys from Sonny Blaze filling out the sound. Jax Stone leads with a raspy, soulful baritone, backed by call-and-response vocals. Sledgehammer FX layered with the snare. Analog warmth, fuzz solo mid-song, ending in sustained distortion like steel on steel.

Lyrics
Boots hit the ground, the crew rolls in
The tools come down and the beat begins
We got fire in our chests and fists full of flame
When the tools drop, you’ll remember our name
Hammer down – no turnin’ back
Drive that spike on a smokin’ track
Hammer down – hear the mountains shake
This is the road that we were born to make
Drums pound out like a steamin’ train
We’re layin’ line through sweat and strain
Got dust in our lungs and grit in our veins
But our groove will echo through the plains
Hammer down – no turnin’ back
Drive that spike on a smokin’ track
Hammer down – hear the mountains shake
This is the road that we were born to make
Drive it deep now… hold that line...
Guitar Solo: Rod Mill
Hammer down – no turnin’ back
Drive that spike on a smokin’ track
Hammer down – hear the mountains shake
This is the road that we were born to make
Hammer... down...
