I recently reviewed The Scratch's single, 'Numbers', and observed that The Scratch were, 'wonderfully edgy pop/rock with nu-punk attitude and wholesome retro intonations'. Based on one just track that could have proved to have been a risky thing to say. But it wasn't - rather, it turned out to be quite prophetic coz this debut album, 'Night Bus Or Milk Train', only strengthens that initial observation; that The Scratch are something very special in all those aforementioned ways!!
'Night Bus Or Milk Train' is stunning! Rammed with great songs, full of energetic variety and executed with superb attention to detail - faultless, flawless, breathtaking and absorbing! Need I say more? 'Night Bus Or Milk Train' is remarkably refined and unbelievably .
The Scratch just give off a massively good vibe and entertain the listener seemingly without any real effort. It all sounds so easy and so natural. Hey, these guys have what it takes and judging by 'Night Bus Or Milk Train' they're ready to take on all-comers - The Scratch are up for it - The Scratch can do it!!
I love everything The Scratch are doing - hey, that's weird, I'm not really into 'commercial' music. But, The Scratch are just so spirited, so convincing, so bloody unnervingly infectious and unputdownable. This is a classy album that'll actually suit many tastes and perhaps that's where The Scratch do actually make a difference; 'Night Bus Or Milk Train' straddles genre, ignores age barriers and sticks two fingers up at commercial banality!
'Night Bus Or Milk Train' by The Scratch is genuinely the mutt's nuts!!
