In the days of MTV and cassette tapes, HAMMERJACKS was one of the most important rock clubs in the world. In the '80s and '90s, the club was the heartbeat and musical identity of blue-collar Baltimore, MD. A favorite venue and hangout for artists like Iron Maiden, Warrant, KIX, Cinderella, Extreme and Wrathchild America, HAMMERJACKS closed it's legendary doors in 1997. HAMMERJACKS: THE ROCKUMENTARY memorializes the iconic venue through interviews with the musicians, staff members, and fans that lived through the mayhem.
