Nine Pound hammer was one of the first rural hardcore punk bands to substantially incorporate ruralblue collar motifs into the minimalistic hardcore sound. Their lyrics (suggestive of outlaw country) featured themes such as alcoholism, rural poverty, and violence, and included references and homages to the likes of Jesco White and Dale Earnhardt. In contrast, most of the urban, experimental cowpunk bands of 1970s/80s Los Angeles and the UK were roots rock, folk rock or New Wave bands incorporating country music instruments and influences as a secondary (sometimes temporary) aspect of their sound.
Following the breakup of the band in 1997, guitarist Blaine Cartwright formed the band Nashville Pussy, which shares many of Nine Pound Hammer's musical and lyrical conventions with the addition of a lead guitarist and a more hard rock/Southern rock-focused format.
History[edit]
Yuppie Mop Dogs at Ross Theater, Evansville, August 1985
Nine Pound Hammer first played at The Ross Theater, opening for the Xtian rap group, The Disciples Of Decadence, in nearby Evansville, Indiana, with drummer Toby Myrig, David Epperson, and bassist Brian (Forrest) Payne, in 1984. David and Brian left, and Bart Altman, thunderstick man from The Disciples Of Decadence, joined on bass. This lineup played a single show at the Ross Theater as The Yuppie Mop Dogs on August 31, 1985. The band played locally in Owensboro, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana, garnering a very loyal following before relocating to Lexington, Kentucky as the Raw Recruits. The band then changed their name to The Black Sheep and became the house band at Great Scott's Depot. Darren Howard replaced Toby, and the band became Nine Pound Hammer again. The name of the band is taken from the Merle Travis song Nine Pound Hammer.
Brian Moore (Active Ingredients) and Rob Hulsman (Tarbox Ramblers) joined on bass and drums in 1988, just before recording the band's first LP, The Mud, The Blood, and The Beers.
The band has six full-length albums and several EPs.

In 2005, Nine Pound Hammer was asked to pen a theme song and lyrics for 12 oz. Mouse, a new Adult Swim animated series showing on America's Cartoon Network. Singer Scott Luallen also appears in the series as the voice actor for the character Roostre. More recently, they were featured on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters Colon the Soundtrack with the track 'Carl's Theme,' in which the lyrics play off of the character 'Carl' and one of his lines in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Abstract
The relationship between the glassy state in seeds and storage stability was examined, using the glass transition curve and a seed viability database from previous experiments. Storage data for seeds at various water contents were studied by Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) kinetics, whereas the glass transition curves of seeds with different storage stability were analysed by the Gordon–Taylor equation in terms of the plasticization effect of water on seed storage stability. It was found that the critical temperatures (T c ) for long-term storage of three orthodox seeds were near or below their glass transition temperatures (T g ), indicating the requirement for the presence of the glassy state for long-term seed storage. The rate of seed viability loss was a function of T-T g at T>T g , which fitted the WLF equation well, suggesting that storage stability was associated with the glass transition, and that the effect of water content on seed storage was correlated with the plasticization effect of water on intracellular glasses. A preliminary examination suggested a possible link between the glass transition curve and seed storage stability. According to the determined WLF constants, intracellular glasses in seeds fell into the second class of amorphous systems as defined by Slade and Levine ( Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition30 : 115–360, 1991). These results support the interpretation that the glassy state plays an important role in storage stability and should be a major consideration in optimizing storage conditions.
