2009 sees THE MEN THEY COULDN'T HANG celebrate their 25th year of raising hope, hackles and hellfire through the street corners and country lanes of Britain and beyond....

This 25th year sees them release 'Devil On the Wind', their first new album for 6 years - and will also see a series of celebratory shows designed to showcase the band's innate assets - literacy, empathy, melody and blow-your-mind rocking power. 25 summers young - still ferocious after all these years....
