Hammerhead (band)
Hammerhead is a Minneapolis-based noise rock band active in the early 1990s. Members went on to form the band Vaz.

History
Hammerhead was formed in Moorhead, Minnesota in the early 1990s, with members Paul Erickson, Jeff Mooridian Jr. and Paul Sanders, later moving to Minneapolis. The band released extensively through Amphetamine Reptile Records. Their major breakthrough album Duh the Big City garnered them critical acclaim, however after its release Paul Sanders left the group.
