The Scratch

The Scratch, hailing from Dublin, Ireland, have steadily carved out their niche on the live music circuit with an infectious blend of Celtic punk, indie rock, and elements of Irish trad and metal. Known for their high-octane performances and genre-blurring sound, the band has cultivated a devoted following drawn to their innovative approach and the raw energy present in both recordings and concerts.

Building on their distinctive style, The Scratch have recently released notable works, including the single "Sally MacLennane" in early 2024 and the acclaimed album "Mind Yourself" in late 2023. Their track record of creative output continues with the much-anticipated album "Pull Like a Dog," set for release in March 2026, further cementing their place at the forefront of contemporary Irish music. Key recordings such as "Banshee," "Blaggard," and "Cheeky Bastard" spotlight the band’s dynamic range and lyrical wit.

The Scratch’s touring schedule features headline slots at renowned venues. In April and May 2026, they take centre stage at Electric Ballroom in London, Club Academy in Manchester, and Oranmore in Galway as headliners—affirming their strong presence on the UK and Irish live music scene. For new fans and long-time followers alike, now is the perfect moment to follow The Scratch and keep an eye on their latest concerts and gigs.
