Hang 'Em High

Hang 'em High is a 5 piece band from Las Vegas that play Rock & Roll. The music has combined influences of both Old School Rock & Roll and Punk Rock along with their own blend and feel to the music. With that said, it's Rock & Roll. In a time where every band's description of their music is "You just have to hear it, it's different, it's like this and that and a hybrid of crap and turd...dude just listen to it and make your own mind up".... none of that, it's just Rock & Roll.
