Even though Nine Pound Hammer disbanded in 1996 and guitarist Blaine Cartwright moved on to work with the band Nashville Pussy, members still reunited for a short series of live performances. Bandmates first got back together in Georgia in 2000, and repeated the reunion event with another show three months later in Kentucky. The following year, Nine Pound Hammer reunited again and headed to North Carolina, where the band performed at that summer's ~Sleazefest in the city of Chapel Hill.
The band formed in 1985 in Evansville, IN, when singer Scott Luallen and Cartwright pulled together the lineup of Brian "Forrest" Payne on bass, Toby Myrig on drums, and David Epperson. Soon, however, Payne and Epperson dropped out, and bass player Bart Altman took Payne's place. Gigs followed in Kentucky and Indiana before the group re-christened itself Raw Recruit and headed to Lexington, KY.
