Bio
Bodyhammer was formed by Andy Schanie, Mike Harpring
and Corey Lyons in the Spring of 1998. With this three
piece lineup in place, Bodyhammer began playing out
and recorded a great, raw sounding demo cassette at
an after hours recording session at WHAS televsion studios.
The band went on to become a fixture in Louisville's
punk/hardcore scene despite frequent reshuffling of
the band's lineup. In the Fall of 1999, with college
looming for Corey, the band's future was uncertain.
The situation was stabilized with the addition of William
Benton (aka Ben) on bass and Eric Young on second guitar.
This lineup went on to do some touring and record their
debut, "Die Young Amplifiers." More lineup
changes followed the release of the CD including, most
significantly, the departure of founding member Mike
Hapring. Bodyhammer almost immediately began moving
away from hardcore/punk toward a sound more infused
with noise and experimentation. They went on to do more
out of town shows and to record an album of their new
material before Ben bowed out in the Summer of 2002
causing Bodyhammer to call it a day.
