Album Review: Scattered Hamlet – Stereo Overthrow (Buck Moon Productions)

Driving a full-throttle sound brewed from the essence of Americana, Motörhead 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.

Front man Adam Joad commented:

Stereo Overthrow is basically a middle finger in the air to the entire last year, the music industry trying to mold us into a specific format, and basically anything trying to hold you back…

Scattered Hamlet’s Stereo Overthrow will be released on the 12th November 2021 via Buck Moon Productions.

Spitting and snarling, Scattered Hamlet are unleashing their anger and annoyance in head-banging, energetic style. Stereo Overthrow is a hard rock album but the punk spirit of the band shines through and they are certainly making their feelings clear here.

Fun? Hell yeah. It’s 10-tracks of groovy, bluesy Americana rock played by a band capable of making that sound authentic and interesting. It’s what they do and Stereo Overthrow is a continuation of that. No-nonsense and unforgiving, the music might have groove but the lyrics are making sharp and pointed comments. Good for them. Scattered Hamlet are pissed off, as many are, about how things have been over the last year.

Don’t worry though, it’s not overly political and nor is it an album only in existence for Scattered Hamlet to air their grievances. It has a more nuanced and subtle approach… mostly.

Regardless of the lyrical content, Scattered Hamlet are also more than happy to let their music do the talking and talk does it do. From the barbed punk rock energy of the title track, to the foot-tapping beat of Locked and Loaded, to the defiant Don’t Tread on Me and the moodier and impactful finale of See You in Hell. This is an album that doesn’t just speak… it shouts.
