Scattered Hamlet

“It’s honky tonk metal, like you took a handful of cheap trucker speed and headed out on the warpath” is how Scattered Hamlet describes their musical style. Created to capture the essence of growing up in the country while giving nods to the original classic rock and outlaw country pioneers, Scattered Hamlet is one part Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet featuring heavy rock elements from Motorhead to Down. According to Sleaze Roxx, “Scattered Hamlet’s influences range from southern rock to groove metal to doom metal with the attitude of punk rock.” Straight out of rural Appalachia, the band makes no apologies for the equal love of Harley Davidsons, honky tonks, Marshall stacks, shotguns and classic American symbolism. There debut full length album, Skeleton Dixie, was produced by two time grammy nominated Jason Donaghy who’s credits include Rob Zombie, John 5 and the Murder Dolls and mastered by legend Howie Weinberg who’s credits include: Pantera, Slayer, White Zombie and Danzig. The band has amassed a strong underground following called “Hell Riders” who maintain their own “chapters” (fan clubs) independent of the band.

Scattered Hamlet has made two appearances at Rocklahoma being selected as one of the top 5 second stage acts (2012/2014), Van’s Warped Tour, A2 Festival (Michigan), SXSW, Rockfest (WI), Inkcarceration (OH), and even the Gathering of the Juggalos.
