In 2006, they released their one and only major label record as a self-titled effort that highlighted Casey's name (other releases are simply by Lovehammers). "Trees" had all the makings of a hit that could sustain the band, but I guess they were barking up the wrong one. The song failed to chart and the band went back to indie releases. Other worthy tracks include "Eyes Can't See" and "The Riddle."

"Trees" by Marty Casey & Lovehammers
The Lovehammers are a modern rock band that got started in the mid-90s but couldn't score a major label deal until lead singer Marty Casey became the runner-up on the singing competition show called Rockstar: INXS. Remember this? When the remaining members of INXS held a contest to see who would become their new lead singer? J.D. Fortune won the gig, but it gave Marty Casey and his band great publicity.
