The Hanging Bandits

The Hanging Bandits are a folk band who have been playing music, searching for buried treasure, and investigating paranormal activity for the past several years. Hertfordshire based, the Bandits formed as an indie rock band but after realising that drum kits are difficult to bring on paranormal investigations, shifted to an acoustic folk set up. Since then, they’ve released two albums and several EPs but as yet have not recovered any lost treasure or documented any monsters. Undeterred by these failures, the Bandits have continued to write music with a focus on socially conscious lyricism and songs about friendship and the natural world. 

Their style reflects the estates of London’s satellite towns as well as the green and varied countryside of the UK. The Bandits bring an open and celebratory live show that balances melancholy with humour and open green space with the cramped greyness of modern life.
