Florida Razors, Junkhouse and Blackie And The Rodeo Kings member Tom Wilson has a new gig with some old friends.

Wilson and the surviving members of Teenage Head — guitarist Gord Lewis, bassist Steve Marshall and drummer Jack Pedler — have formed Sons Of The Hammer. The group, named in honour of their hometown of Hamilton, played a sold-out show in Montreal last weekend as part of the city's Grey Cup festivities.

The band play songs that span the careers of all the members, with some classic rock 'n' roll covers thrown into the mix.

Wilson also joined Teenage Head earlier this month as part of the Hamilton Music Awards weekend to pay tribute to former Head frontman Frankie Venom, who passed away in October.

"The spirit of Frankie Venom will be with us wherever and whenever members of Teenage Head play," says Lewis. "I believe that Frank would want the music to continue, and we will do our best to make him proud each and every time we perform."

Sons Of The Hammer will remember the past and look to the future when they play Hamilton's Casbah on New Year's Eve. Tickets are $25.
