by Eduardo RivadaviaHailing from Boston, MA, Hackman are a post-stoner rock power trio comprised of local scene veterans Darryl Sheppard (guitar, occasional vocals, ex-Milligram and Roadsaw), Jase Forney (bass, trumpet, ex-Lamont), and Todd Bowman (drums, also ex-Lamont). Together as Hackman since 2005, the band recorded its mostly instrumental debut, The New Normal, the following year, and released it through Detroit's Small Stone in spring 2007.
