The Scratch are never going to be an overly serious band, but they’re at their best when they turn the silliness down a notch, and concentrate on writing what are actually some really solid pop songs. There are hints of punk bands from over the years throughout, including Wire and The Clash, but there’s also a big, big 80s pop influence. There’s even a hint of New Romanticism and The Cure in there, as well as a sizeable chunk of 90s Britpop.
I have a sneaking suspicion they may make it quite big soon (There are no shortage of potential singles on the album) but if you fancy something a bit different in advance, it’s definitely worth heading over to their myspace page and having a listen.
