Scattered Hamlet Release New Video
Scattered Hamlet was formed in 2010 by lead vocalist Adam Joad and has relentlessly toured all over the states with widespread appeal from their down to earth accessibility, blue collar work ethic and outlaw vibe. Making an impact from the outset, the title track opens with a burst of energy, distorted guitars, and dynamic vocals. Launching riff after riff the distorted guitars are a fierce force across their tracks, Scattered Hamlet creates a compelling sound with intricate guitar leads and mighty rhythms. From the aggressive mood of “Death or Dishonor” befitting a barroom brawl, through to the bluesy rocking “Low Class Blues”, Stereo Overthrow isn’t afraid to explore a variety of styles.
Driving a full-throttle sound brewed from the essence of Americana, Motorhead and a punk rock attitude, Scattered Hamlet delivers a high impact wherever they go. The new album Stereo Overthrow follows an already comprehensive discography from the four-piece straight out of the hills of Appalachia.
This is what the band had to say about "Stereo Overthrow."
"We were really inspired by Rudy Ray More and his journey as “Dolemite.” Here’s a guy that every film distributor laughed at but he knew his audience and had faith in his product. He’s a legend. When we started talking to record labels, they were talking to us because what we were doing worked, but then they wanted to change everything because they didn’t understand what we were doing or our audience. It made me think of Rudy and “Dolemite” so we made a video that was a nod to sticking to your guns and doing things your own way when everyone wants you to be something else." More...

Scattered Hamlet Announces New Tour
Scattered Hamlet is what would happen “if science mutated the genes of AC/DC, Motorhead, Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Steven Jones all into one new being, then added a shot of Nashville Pussy for good measure,” according to Tony Sison of All Access Magazine.
Today the band is pleased to announce an upcoming full U.S. tour and partnership with Coldcock Whiskey. The band, who dubs the live act “The Hillbilly Sideshow Extravaganza,” will be headlining several dates on the “Shotgun Shells and Dynamite Run,” while select dates will feature Kingshifter (Pavement Entertainment).

Scattered Hamlet Posts New Video
Scattered Hamlet has unleashed a music video for the track "Shelter," which was produced by Grammy-nominated Jason Donaghy and mastered by Howie Weinberg (White Zombie, Slayer, Danzig). Check out the clip below. The following press release was also issued about the band:
"If Stone Cold Steve Austin teamed up with Bo and Luke Duke and got into a heavy duty parking lot brawl on a Saturday night, you would have yourself the personification of six-piece outlaw metal band Scattered Hamlet.
"Known for their rowdy live shows featuring harmonicas, double and triple guitar attacks, and lots of whiskey, Scattered Hamlet has been described by Big Wheel Magazine as having 'the feel and sound of the American South’s influence modernized for punk and metal consumption.'
"‘Shelter’ is an autobiographical song that champions trucker speed, quitting your job and heading out on the highway – pretty much what Scattered Hamlet is all about!"
According to frontman Adam Joad, a man who is known for performing on top of a beer keg with a shotgun converted into a microphone stand, “We’re pumped to finally get a video out there for the Skeleton Dixie album, we had been so busy touring, shooting a video always kept getting put on the back-burner."
