Background notes
Archive material and source history
Haymaker formed in Nashville in the early 2000s around childhood friends Brandon Phillips on vocals and Nick Diltz on guitar. They played local shows in dive bars and festivals, eventually solidifying their lineup with bassist Chris Shelton and drummer Will Jones by 2012. That year they put out their debut EP, 'The Messenger.'
Their music has a hard rock sound with melodic elements, heard on tracks like 'First To Die' and 'We Are Haymaker.' They released albums including 'Into the Black' in 2015, 'First to Die' in 2017, and 'Legends' in 2022.
In 2016, the band faced a legal dispute over their music rights. They continued working through it, with songs like 'Hold On To Your Dreams' and 'Skinhead' appearing in their catalog.
