Description:
Scoundrel is a hard rock/metal band from the Towson area of Maryland. We play a wide variety of rock music from the 60's all the way up to modern mainstream. Our original music is greatly influenced by 80's metal (Judas Priest, Motley Crue), but with some modern elements as well.
Band Members:
Michael Stettes, front man and lead singer, provides a great deal of the lyrics for Scoundrel's original songs and also has a lot of input in the music aspect as well. His singing style has been compared to performers such as Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Billy Idol, and Vince Neil (Motley Crue). He is one of the founding members of the band.
Ben Stahl, lead guitar and backing vocals, originally started this band back in 2002 and he serves as the chief composer of the band's music. He handles a great deal of the musical arrangements, but also works with Mike on lyric writing. Ben is the other founding member of Scoundrel and is a classically trained guitarist.
Shoof (bass/backing vocals) and Shawn Rardon (drums) serve as the rhythm section. These two also being classically trained musicians add another layer of precision and musicality to the music. Shoof is actually a guitarist who decided to play bass with this band making his riffs and licks highly impressive. Shawn's drumming style, though pulling from varying backgrounds (jazz, funk, metal), suits the band's music perfictly.
