Pre-Order Kilkenny Cats "Hammer + Echo" on Webstore-Exclusive Tiger Splatter Color LP

Expanded reissue of the 1988 EP Hammer EP now includes a newly compiled “Echo” side of lost recordings with liner notes by Tom Cheek, and rare archival material.

In 1988, Athens, Georgia’s Kilkenny Cats released Hammer, a fierce and atmospheric EP that captured the moody heart of the late-’80s Southern underground. More than three decades later, this cult classic returns in expanded form as Hammer + Echo. Remastered and featuring unreleased recordings, unseen photos, and liner notes that reframe the story of a band that never quite fit the mold.

Hammer + Echo includes the original six-track Hammer EP one side, remastered from the original tapes, and a newly assembled "Echo Side" of unreleased recordings. This collection- raw, powerful, and deeply evocative- charts the band’s evolution through outtakes, demos, and deep cuts spanning from 1983 to the early ’90s. A bonus track, “Heaven,” appears exclusively on the CD and digital editions.

Kilkenny Cats’ Hammer + Echo is not just a reissue- it’s a resurrection. It reminds us of a band that thrived on its own strange frequency: part Southern Gothic, part art-rock, part something else entirely. Listening now, you can still hear it- restless yearning, captured in real time.
