SCATTERED HAMLET
“Trucker speed on the war-path baby” bellows Scattered Hamlet front man and founder, Adam Joad, as the four piece band of musical outlaws thunder through another ripping set of what they fondly describe as Rock and Roll, Metal, Southern-Mayhem. Conceived from the minds of Joad and Victory Records veteran, Ari M. (Destrophy/Otep), Scattered Hamlet was created to capture the essence of growing up in the country while giving a nod to the original classic rock and outlaw country pioneers. One part lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet and capturing modern rock elements from Down to Buckcherry, Scattered Hamlet has been described as having a little something for all true hard rock fans. The band considers themselves nomads and has their humble origins in various small rural towns around the U.S. and Canada. They make no apologies for their equal love of Harley Davidsons, honky tonks, Les Pauls, Marshalls, shotguns and all three generations of Hank Williams.
