Skeleton Dixie

It's all whiskey bottles and black eyes..

Scattered Hamlet whips up a tasty omelette of southern-fried strut rock and Sunset Strip sleaze, slathered liberally with radio-ready hooks and hillbilly swagger - ClaSSIC RoCk MagazIne Trucker speed on the war-path baby bellows Scattered Hamlet front man and founder, Adam Joad, as the five 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. They make no apologies for their equal love of Harley Davidsons, honky tonks, Les Pauls, Marshalls, shotguns and all three generations of Hank Williams. Featuring Adam Joad 'The Appalachian Apostle' (vocals/guitar/ harmonica/banjo) Rich Erwin 'Kentucky Assassin' (bass/vocals), Redd Yoachum 'The Texan' (guitar/slide) and Jake Delling le Bas 'The Irish Thunder' (drums), Skeleton Dixie was produced by two time Grammy nominated Jason Donaghy (Rob Zombie, John 5, Murder Dolls) and Master by Howie Weinberg (Slayer, White Zombie, Beastie Boys, Danzig). The album features a guest appearance by Texas Hippie Coalition alum and Dean Guitar artist Randy 'The Arsonist' Cooper. 'The accompanying artwork's imagery and southern rock like vocals combined with grungy guitar work make for a trip down south of the Mason Dixon line and possibly south of heaven as well...

The feel and sound of the American south 's influence is modernized for punk and metal consumption. - BIg WHeel MagazIne.
