Hammer and the Saltwater Krokadiles are a fierce new project led by Kilmarnock punk veteran Hammer Gorman, a name well-known across Scotland’s alternative scene. A seasoned frontman with decades of music behind him, Hammer brings his unmistakable voice, driving basslines, and raw, lived-in attitude to the heart of the Krokadiles’ sound.
Adding a unique and electrifying edge is Stuart Farquharson, whose moothie playing is nothing short of world-class. His distinctive style weaves through the band’s songs, lifting them into a space where punk energy meets roots-driven, soulful expression.
Born from years of shared stages, late-night sessions and the collective fire of musicians who refuse to slow down, Hammer and the Saltwater Krokadiles carry the spirit of Kilmarnock’s underground music culture wherever they go. Their sound blends grit, melody, humour, and heart — a wild mix that feels both familiar and completely fresh.
With veteran experience, unmatched talent on the moothie, and a whole lot of attitude, this is a band that hits hard and leaves a mark.
Turn it up. Dive in. And join the Krokadiles.
