While Julian Casablancas was the Strokes' chief songwriter, Hammond lent a hand in writing <i>Room on Fire</i>'s "Automatic Stop" and a handful of others that never made it to disc. After giving these songs a thorough reworking, Hammond recorded a solo debut album in 2006, <i>Yours to Keep</i>, which employed an A-list of white-boy pop debutantes, including Casablancas, Sean Lennon, Jody Porter (Fountains of Wayne) and Ben Kweller.
