Cast Iron Hike was an American band from Clinton, Massachusetts.

History

Cast Iron Hike was formed after the breakup of Worcester hardcore band Backbone, and featured that group's drummer (Dave Green) and guitarist (Chris Pupecki). [ [http://wm11.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:kifwxqqhldke~T1 Cast Iron Hike] at Allmusic.com] They began by playing shows on the East Coast before releasing material in the mid and late 1990s in rapid succession, including EPs on Big Wheel Recreation and Trustkill Records, as well as a full-length on Victory Records. The group split up in the winter of 1997. Since then, guitarist Michael Gallagher went on to join Isis and to start MGR; Chris Pupecki currently plays guitar in both Doomriders and Blacktail; Dave Green is a university professor and is not in a band; singer Jake Brennan has continued as a solo artist; Pete deGraaf has played bass in a number of bands, such as Villain and CLEARTHEWAY, and works as a sound engineer.
