The Scratch

The Scratch, an Irish band forged in Dublin, are revered for their raucous blend of Celtic punk and indie rock, with a distinctive edge that draws on folk rock, trad, and metal influences. Since their inception, they've cultivated a reputation for energetic live music that channels the raw spirit of their heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern rock. Their sound is equally at home in sweaty clubs and on festival stages, earning them a loyal and growing following across Ireland and beyond.

The group’s discography showcases a vibrant progression, from standout singles like "Blaggard," "Cheeky Bastard," and "Sally MacLennane" to expressive full-length albums such as "Mind Yourself" (2023) and the highly anticipated "Pull Like a Dog," set for release in March 2026. The Scratch have recently headlined gigs at landmark venues including the Electric Ballroom in London, Club Academy in Manchester, and the Oranmore in Galway, underscoring their prowess and appeal on the live circuit. Their shows, seething with high-octane musicianship and infectious energy, are a testament to their powerful fusion of genres.

Looking ahead to early 2027, The Scratch are set to bring their dynamic concerts to UK venues like O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, New Century Hall in Manchester, and Bristol Electric, providing ample opportunity for new and established fans to experience their innovative take on Celtic punk and indie rock first-hand.
