HANGING BY A NAME é acima de tudo o resultado final da colaboração entre os 3 músicos que compõem a banda. Duarte Feliciano, João Santiago e Adílio Sousa dão vida aos Hanging by a name como trio por escolha própria e não por acidente.
Urbana por natureza, a música que fazem revela-se através de paisagens sonoras pautadas por sons de guitarra atmosféricos e carregados de textura que rapidamente alternam com explosões de assinaturas rítmicas complexas ditadas pela bateria e suportadas por linhas de baixo ao mesmo tempo elaboradas e poderosas, num esforço colectivo para capturar em música todas as nuances e intensidade das histórias de vida que povoam as letras que completam as ferramentas de trabalho deste trio.
Hanging by a name apresenta uma linguagem feita de pequenos pedaços de exposição à música, ao cinema, à literatura e à fotografia que se condensam em algo de novo e cheio de individualidade.

HANGING BY A NAME is first and foremost the end result from the collaboration of three musicians that make up the band.
Duarte Feliciano, João Santiago and Adílio Sousa are a trio by choice, not by accident.
Neither should it be considered an accident the fact that their music mirrors some of the environments and behaviors that Coimbra, a Portuguese ever growing college town where they come from, has exposed them to. Their approach towards music is unostentatious, almost pragmatic and caustic, with no reverence for classification or genres and without any kind of reservation on borrowing musical languages from a number of them in order to find the best way to convey an idea, an emotion.
Urban by nature, their music reveals itself through landscapes created by beautifully open eerie guitar sounds, that quickly alternate into explosions of odd time signature drum patterns, always supported by bass lines both intricate and powerful, in an all out effort to capture in music all nuances of the intense life stories depicted by their lyrics.
Theirs is a language of small pieces of cinematographic exposure to music, film, literature, photography that aggregates into something new and full of individuality. A complex alternative power rock picture that aims to carve it's own place in the music universe.
