After five years together, the group went on hiatus after one last show on December 31, 2010 in Langley, British Columbia.The group reformed in 2013 and released Wheels in 2014.[1] In May 2017, The Road Hammers released their latest album, The Squeeze.[2]

History[edit]
The Road Hammers was founded in 2004 as a project by lead singer and guitarist Jason McCoy, a multiple Canadian Country Music Association male vocalist of the year winner. He stated the idea was to play trucker music, and came together with two other musicians with similar views on music - country-rocker Clayton Bellamy, whose father is a truck driver, and bassist Chris Byrne, a Newfoundlander. The first sign of the band was in a video by Paul Brandt for his remake of the classic song 'Convoy'. McCoy appears in the video, wearing a Road Hammers shirt. Originally the entire band was to appear, but scheduling conflicts didn't allow for that to happen. In addition to recording their self-titled album, the Road Hammers was also the subject of a reality show of the same name on Country Music Television in Canada.
The album The Road Hammers was released in 2005, and received strong reviews for its Southern rock sound and covers of classic songs.[3] It debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian country albums chart.[4] Covers on the album included 'Girl on the Billboard,' the 1965 number-one hit for Del Reeves, 'East Bound and Down' by Jerry Reed, and Little Feat's 'Willin'.' In the wake of the album release, The Road Hammers swept to the upper end of the Canadian country charts; four songs reached the top 10 through 2005 and 2006, and the band was nominated for six CCMA Awards[5] winning Group or Duo of the Year. It was also recognized at the Juno Awards for Country Recording of the Year. The album's success continued into 2006, with the Road Hammers receiving two CCMA awards, Group or Duo of the Year and Best Video.[6]
In July 2007, McCoy stated that the band will be part of a second season of its reality show, following its attempts to secure a recording deal with an American label.[7] In late 2007, The Road Hammers signed to an American record label, Montage Music Group and the group's debut American single, 'I Don't Know When to Quit' was released on December 10. Their second album, entitled Blood, Sweat, and Steel, was released on June 24, 2008.
