Description
Following the success of their second album ‘Mind Yourself’ (2023), coupled with their unrivalled high-octane live shows, playing to growing crowds across Ireland, the UK, Europe, the US and Australia, The Scratch are considered one of Irelands most exciting bands.
Cleverly fusing folk and metal music, played on acoustic instruments, with loud guitar riffs and raucous energy, The Scratch consistently capture the crowds attention with their powerful stage presence. With support from the likes of Iggy Pop, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Kerrang!, the band are showing no signs of slowing down.
Following a busy 2025 – touring across the US with The Dropkick Murphys, supporting Dermot Kennedy at MISNEACH (a new global Irish festival in Sydney), performing at this years Download Festival, and their music recently featured in Netflixs acclaimed historical drama series House of Guinness.
Written in Hellfire Studio in Dublin with engineer Thomas Donoghue and producer John Spud Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi, caroline), Pull Like A Dog is a fiercely powerful introduction to a brand-new chapter for the band. The folk-metal supremos release the title track Pull Like A Dog to coincide with the announcement of their new album. With its raucous energy and loud guitar riffs, the single is a prime example of The Scratchs serious raw talent to cleverly combine folk and metal music, creating something that is distinctive and original.
Its about tossing aside the idea of apologising for merely existing or hoping that if I keep colouring inside the lines Ill get what I think I deserve Daniel Lang (Lango vocals, cajon) notes. Mocking myself a bit but also getting the blood
going so Ill grab life by the scruff and be loud about it.
Limited yellow vinyl pressing.
