Interview with Clayton Bellamy of The Road Hammers
Formed in 2004 by CCMA Hall of Famer Jason McCoy, and rounded out by the powerhouse talents of Clayton Bellamy and Chris Byrne, The Road Hammers have blazed a trail as Canada’s most celebrated country-rock trio. Known for their explosive fusion of gritty outlaw, classic country, and Southern rock, the band has earned a loyal following with their raw sound and full-throttle live shows. With over 60 million career streams, 11 million YouTube views, and an arsenal of accolades, including multiple CCMA Awards, a JUNO Award, and gold and platinum certifications, The Road Hammers have carved out a legendary lane all their own.
From the moment their self-titled debut album roared onto the scene in 2005, debuting at #1 on the Canadian country albums chart, they’ve been breaking new ground ever since. With 3 Top 5, 3 Top 10, and 4 Top 20 singles, they’ve proven time and again that they’re a force to be reckoned with. Frontman Jason McCoy - also a CMA Global Artist of the Year, CCMA ‘Personality of the Year Award’ recipient, CMAO ‘The Real McCoy Award’ recipient, and CCMA Hall of Fame inductee - brings unmatched charisma to the band’s sound and spirit.
And they’re not hitting the brakes anytime soon. Hot on the heels of “Dirty Hands, Clean Money,” The Hammers have just released their high-octane new rock single, “Till The Wheels Fall Off.” Fueled by roaring guitars, relentless drive, and a spirit that never quits, this new track embodies exactly who the band is at its core: lifers who keep rolling no matter what.
“Till The Wheels Fall Off” delivers extra horsepower with features from Big Wreck's Ian Thornley and Theory of A Deadman’s Tyler Connolly - turning this into a full-throttle collaboration made for the open road and the fighters who never back down. “A lot of modern music is in such a rush to get to the chorus,” says Clayton Bellamy, “but we wanted to extend that intro, let the chant build, let the groove simmer, and get into your soul like a slow burning whiskey."
