The Hangmen

For a frighteningly long time The Hangmen have been creating & developing a punk/rockabilly hybrid under the generic term of 'Psychobilly'.
The band has gigged and toured consistently throughout - releasing no less than seven albums along with countless compilation appearances, singles and even the odd art movie cameo. Having never ran with any pack they've pursued and evolved their raw hi-octane rock & roll formula with guts, distinction and attitude, becoming influential in the process.
Sustained live performances across the UK, USA, Canada and Europe endorse the fact that this is a formidable and unique live band matching it's word-of-mouth reputation. Live highlights include their movie-shot New York Rumble Festival appearance, performing at NYCs legendary CBGBs and the distinction of 'Live-pick-of-the-week' in the national music press during a Canadian tour. They have been choice support to touring acts such as Hellkat Records' Transplants, Nekromantix or Tiger Army, and when not headlining in their own right are regularly seen warming up the masses for rejuvenated Punk-era heroes.
Primeval energy with distinctive material and style form the riotous bones of The Hangmens revamped, punk-stained, dirty Rock & Roll - ranted & hammered out by the trio at full throttle on one nasty growl guitar ("Lucy", a Frankenstein like creation custom built and baptised in a New Orleans Voodoo temple), mercilessly punished WW3 drums and a supercharged double-bass - topped off with a bloodcurdling wrath of vocal rage.
In a hectic hail of sweat, noise & sneers they satire, confront and offend the world we think we know with their own menacingly bizarre antithesis. With cynical wit, perception and challenge The Hangmen revel in defiant hysteria through their own unsavoury, unpredictable visions.
Seven 'cult classic' albums released by small independent labels sell (and sell out) consistently to an ever expanding fanbase despite limited and erratic distribution. Vinyl singles 'Spring Heeled Jack' and 'The Curse' both attracted further favourable reviews not to mention BBC airplay. Their most recent, finest, most anticipated and fastest selling opus to date - Cacklefest! is described as a dark concoction of spare monster parts, pieces of crashed dragsters and lost voodoo artefacts!
As 'industry outsiders' they achieve ongoing and gathering interest against the odds, and as such continue crafting new material to compliment an already prolific repertoire. Surviving and thriving where most had fallen, stumbled or hibernated away hoping for better days, The Hangmen are the Rock & Roll graveyard gang that sweat, bleed and piss it - so when you're ready to get down to it just remember The Hangmen are already down there ready or not, kicking it up and keeping it hot.
