about
Clockhammer was an alternative metal trio from Nashville, TN. The original line-up included Byron Bailey (vocals, guitar), Matt Swanson (bass), and Ken Coomer (drums). In the early 1990's the trio's music became popular in the college radio scene and many predicted Clockhammer would be a breakthrough success. Infighting doomed the lineup in early 1992 when guitarist/vocalist Byron Bailey disappeared from Nashville without telling his bandmates. He went on to reform Clockhammer with a different line-up in 1994 with cousin Christian Nagle (vocals, guitar), Mark Smoot (bass), and Chris Gallo (drums). That version of Clockhammer produced only one album, So Much for You, on the German label, Houses in Motion, and it was never released in the US. Clockhammer combines metal, jazz, and funk with Byron Bailey's vocals. Bailey's vocal style has been described as that of a "pissed off angel."
