PRE-ORDER: EXPECTED TO SHIP 13 MARCH

About

The Scratch are Conor Dockery (guitar, backing vocals), Cathal McKenna (bass/backing vocals), Daniel Lang (cajón, percussion, lead vocals), Gary Regan (guitar/backing vocals)

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 Ireland’s 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 crowd’s 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 Murphy’s, supporting Dermot Kennedy at MISNEACH (a new global Irish festival in Sydney), performing at this year’s Download Festival, and their music recently featured in Netflix’s acclaimed historical drama series House of Guinness – The Scratch are set to release their brand new album ‘Pull Like A Dog’ on 13th March 2026 via Sony Music Ireland.
