Artist History After two major label discs (one never released), numerous line-up changes, years spent gigging and stumbling though a non-existent late 90’s music scene, The Hangmen, led by the wild and wiry Bryan Small, are back in top form with the release of Metallic I.O.U., a self-penned disc chock full of stories of excess, remorse, lust, and even a murder ballad to boot.

Group Members Bryan Small - Vocals, Guitar / Jimmy James - Guitar / Marlo Page - Bass, Vocals / Todd Haney - drums
