By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) July 15, 2008 8:22 am
Albert Hammond, Jr. continues to distance himself from The Strokes and moves closer to his dad on his sophomore release, which has a Spanish moniker and a peppy, poppy sound.

Albert Hammond, Jr.'s Name Game

By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) August 18, 2008 4:07 pm
For his second solo album, Albert Hammond, Jr. is trying to downplay the solo aspect and focus more on the traditional band dynamic.
