The members of Hammer No More the Fingers came together in early 2007 after years of playing together in various bands in Durham, North Carolina. Joe Hall and Duncan Webster had played together in The Droogies while still in high school at Durham School of the Arts. The Droogies won numerous talent shows and battle of the bands contests. Several song fragments from The Droogies have been given new life in Hammer No More the Fingers. Webster and Hall were also involved with a cult band called Slippery Chicken which, although short lived, had a respectable following. Hammer No More the Fingers was eventually formed after Joe Hall graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill, Jeff Stickley graduated from East Carolina University, and Duncan Webster moved back to Durham after a stint going to school and playing music in New York City. During his time in New York, Webster shared the stage with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Patti Smith among other notable artists. The band began playing shows across North Carolina in 2007 and recorded a four-song demo to distribute to fans. Their first show took place at the now defunct 305 South Anti-Mall in Durham.
