A storied underground Los Angeles rock outfit, emerging in 1986 with a sound that blends hard rock swagger and punk rock barbarity, with Americana roots. Born in Montana, raised in Boise; lead singer/guitarist Bryan Small moved to Southern California, soon formed The Hangmen, and quickly caught the eye of Black Flag/Circle Jerks singer Keith Morris who then produced the original demos. The band signed a deal with Capitol Records, and after their self-titled debut release (produced by Vic Maile - The Who/Motorhead), they were quickly dropped; getting caught up in the hair metal feeding frenzy of the late '80s. A brief brush with Geffen Records came and went, eventually leading to the band landing a deal with Acetate Records for the release of 2000’s Metallic I.O.U., celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, in 2025. Now 9 releases on - The Hangmen have aimed true - remaining committed to their steadfast brand of musical honesty and integrity. Through global touring, cult-like recognition, and the creation of purely authentic songs; The Hangmen advance into the amber desert horizon.
