Just as The Hangers are getting off stage after opening a show for Trip the Off, the band members meet Matt Collyer, legendary Canadian Ska figure and owner of Stomp Records. He immediately recognizes the band’s huge potential and doesn’t hesitate to invite them to support a new band on his roster, The Resignators, in concert. Shortly after this unexpected treat, they are invited to perform alongside Ska icons such as The Planet Smashers and Westbound Train, in the first ever Montreal Ska festival in October 2009. The time is ripe for The Hangers, who finally gave in to their temptation to record. Their debut album “Half the Fun” was just released on November 24th in a sold-out venue at Savoy, in Montreal.

In the meantime, The Hangers welcome you into their universe at www.thehangers.tv. Follow the band in its adventures with brilliant, regularly updated webisodes that also feature scene reports from other bands’ shows. While you’re online, don’t forget to take a peek at the first single by watching the DIY video for “Factory Man”.


While roasting under a burning sun in the summer of 2001, 5 young musicians from Montreal lay the groundwork to create the ultimate party vibe: The Hangers are born.

Even though the band members are still attending high school, the positive and wild energy they exude on stage quickly leads them to the Club Soda in Montreal. Exhilarated by this first success, the band spends a few years perfecting its sound to highlight its positive energy. In that time, The Hangers perform at numerous private parties, illegal concerts, and start to make a name for themselves in the Montreal underground scene.
