Scattered Hamlet

Scattered Hamlet is a four-piece hard rock/southern rock band formed in 2010 when lead vocalist Adam Joad created the original blueprint for the band with help from Otep guitarist Ari Mihalopoulos.[1] They self-describe their musical style as "Honky Tonk Metal",[1] and are known for their high-energy live show and intense touring schedule of over 100 shows a year.[2] The band has played in 40+ U.S. states.[2] Scattered Hamlet’s music has been featured on CBS, CMT, Adult Swim, the Travel Channel, VEVO Entertainment,[2] Travis Pastrana's Nitro Circus,[3] and many more. Their 2013 debut album "Skeleton Dixie" featured a guest appearance by former Texas Hippie Coalition guitarist Randy Cooper.[4] Their sophomore album “Swamp Rebel Machine” was released November 4, 2016,[5] and was voted as the most anticipated release of that day in a Loudwire reader's poll.[6] It was also their first album to chart, reaching #10 on a Billboard Heatseekers chart.[7][8]

Jake Delling Le Bas, Stay Hungry, & Dee Snider

On September 18, 2017 Scattered Hamlet's long-time drummer Jake Delling Le Bas fell from a third story balcony, sustaining a severe brain injury and entering a coma. This resulted in Scattered Hamlet taking a hiatus until June 19, 2018, when they released a cover of Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry as a tribute to Jake. Their version of Stay Hungry caught the attention of Twisted Sister vocalist Dee Snider who praised the cover and called for prayers for Jake.[9] Dee later recruited Scattered Hamlet guitarist Adam Newell to play with him at two major festivals in August 2018: Skogsröjet in Sweden, and Alcatraz in Belgium.[10]

gollark: OR DO YOU?
gollark: Well, not accidentally fogged, but accidentally ignored, I guess.
