Tom Hamilton Details Debut Solo Album ‘I’m Your Vampire’

Tom Hamilton will release his debut solo album, I’m Your Vampire, on January 23 through AWAL/Relix. The Joe Russo’s Almost Dead guitarist previewed the pending record with the first single, “Don’t Give Up On Me.”

Hamilton, whose other credits include stints with Brothers Past, American Babies and Ghost Light, recorded I’m Your Vampire with co-producer Alex Farrar. “A series of personal and societal crises” motivated Hamilton to craft the 10-song collection.

“When you’re in a van on the road for 20 years, you live in your bubble, you think that your world is one way — and it’s not,” the Philadelphia-based Hamilton stated. “The pandemic break gave me the time to see that. Then my band broke up and my dad got sick. The only respite I had was the studio.”

Hamilton and his solo band, comprised of bassist Taylor Shell, keyboardist Tom McKee and drummer Nick Paternostro, will spend November and December touring in support of Band of Skulls. Hamilton will tour the East Coast of the United States in January and February 2026.
