11 Tracks.
If you go bananas listening to bands like the SHADOWS OF KNIGHT, the ZAKARY THAKS, the BAD SEEDS, the CYNICS and the STAGGERS, this one's for you babe! The first long-playing record by Switzerland's one and only kingly renowned garage band - THE ROYAL HANGMEN. Are you ready for another wylde garage-punk extravaganza? Do you fancy some hip-shakin' 60s Beat, too? Or maybe, you just wanna dance ecstatically, shout and scream in frenzy? Their album contains 11 self-penned songs, full of tempestuous and raw energy, with plenty of hooklines, verve and style. Songs that are soaked with a sixties spirit, but were made in the here and now. It's all in there: fuzz-guitars, VOX organs, snarling vocals, throbbing bass and rattling drums - always short, tight and efficient.
Hailing from Zurich, THE ROYAL HANGMEN started eight years ago to proclaim the gospel of garage rock. First a simple cover-band, they soon found their own style and tunes and finally some attention amongst the international 60s/retro scene. Their first 45 single "Mary Jane" was released back in 2009 on Greek label "Lost In Tyme". Lots of concerts in France and native Switzerland followed thereafter, culminating in a support slot for the mighty SONICS!
