Having known each other since childhood, Hammer No More The Fingers, learned music together, played talent shows together, & in every sense, grew up together. For a short period not long ago, though, they separated, each hunting experience. Drummer Jeff Stickley went to Greenville, NC, attended East Carolina University & played bluegrass. Guitarist Joe Hall went to Brazil, studied music & cavorted with exotic beauties. Bassist & lead vocalist Duncan Webster went to New York City, met a girl (Jesse Smith, daughter of punk icon Patti), started a band, & lost both to a savage breakup.
