American Hitmen

We will preserve what's right and to the death we'll fight, 'cause on the right hand of God we stand united as the DOGS of WAR...

Born out of the fiery depths of Fallujah, Iraq, during Operation Phantom Fury in 2004, four talented musicians joined forces in hopes of creating the ultimate, no-holds-barred, in your face rock group. Playing only on acoustic guitars and ammo cans, the hardcore group of United States Marines began writing songs about the true face of combat; a side of the story that the media has never and will never show the public. When it was time to go back to the United States, these four war dogs decided that they needed a name for their bombastic, hard hitting band of trained madmen; they decided to call themselves the American Hitmen. When they finally returned home, they met with likes of well known Rune drummer Phil Snyder who joined the ranks as the drummer.
To this day, the American Hitmen continue to dominate the music scene by winning over fans and critics alike from all different walks of life. Their blisteringly honest lyrics and their true-to-life hardcore demeanor are just a few of the many traits that the American Hitmen bring to every public event they are involved with. Having already played at the world famous Whisky-A-Go-Go in Hollywood to the Del Mar Fair in La Jolla, and even to the House of Blues in San Diego, these killer musicians are ready to take the music world head on!!
