“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.

Scattered Hamlet released their first EP Hillbilly Harmony in 2010 Produced by Clay Davis, mixed by Ryan Anderson (Nickleback, Hinder), mastered by Rob Beaton (Guns ‘n’ Roses).
