Taking a breather from his day-job as guitarist for The Dandy Warhols, Peter Holmström and his cohorts from the Portland psych-rock scene have created an album of enjoyable, mellow psychedelia.

The Hangmen aren’t celluloid heroes and won’t be featured on any tourist star map, but they will be celebrated with Lost Rocks, a collection of their raucous country infused punk rock spanning their 25 year history.

With his latest band, former Black Halos guitarist Adam Becvare presses ahead against all obstacles.
