With roots in the hardcore punk scene and after participating in several local bands, Chanut, Thépegnier and Sid-Ahmed Azzouni formed Hangman's Chair. The band's debut album, (A Lament for...) The Addicts (2007) featured Kéo Nackphouminh on vocals. After Nackphouminh's departure and the group's reconfiguration in 2008, they released Leaving Paris in 2010.
