Inspired by digging out awesome albums that we’ve not heard for ages over the festive period, the ‘Hammer blog brings you the ‘Lost Gems’ challenge.

We’re challenging you to head on in to this page and leave us an album that you’ve played recently that you’ve not paid for ages in our comments section and we’ll send a goodie bag to the entry that makes us rub our chins the hardest.

The LA Caffeine Machine on smoking form with this riff-after-riff-after-riff-after-riff-after-riff-after-riff-after mutha fuggin riff(and then some more riffs!!) classic.
