Dublin’s own The Scratch, a dynamic four-piece known for their innovative blend of heavy metal and traditional Irish folk, is set to release their latest album, Mind Yourself, on November 3rd, 2023. Produced by acclaimed artist James Vincent McMorrow, this album showcases the band’s creative evolution, marrying their acoustic roots with a vibrant, energetic sound.
Mind Yourself will be available on limited edition etched colored vinyl, standard black vinyl, CD, and digital formats. Daniel Lang, the band’s lead vocalist and percussionist, shares insights about their creative process: “After a night at the pub, we found ourselves in a groove that led to the creation of our single. Trom II is particularly special for us, as it captures a spontaneous, live studio vibe that we’ve never experienced before.”
Since forming in 2016, The Scratch has taken the music scene by storm, gaining fame after a viral performance at the Rory Gallagher festival. Their debut album, “Couldn’t Give A Rats,” was released during the early days of the COVID lockdown, paving the way for a dedicated fanbase and sold-out shows across Ireland and beyond. With a new tour on the horizon, including stops in Ireland, the UK, and Europe, now is the perfect time to buy The Scratch Mind Yourself album and experience their unique sound firsthand.
