The Scratch band long journey from

Busking on Grafton Street in Dublin 2017

to

The Scratch – Another Round @ Pollandrock 2025

Formed in 2016 by drummer Daniel Lang and Guitarist Jordan O’Leary, after their previous tech and groove-metal outfit Red Enemy had dissolved, joined shortly after by guitarist Conor Dockery and bass player Peter Keogh, The Scratch are a band that doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere, but have proven to fit in everywhere. Starting out with just acoustic guitars and a wooden box, the band created an immediate buzz in their hometown of Dublin, Ireland.

Seemingly uncapable of keeping themselves boxed in to one singular genre, they meander intentionally around heavy metal, Irish folk music, stadium rock, and post punk. Constantly evolving both creatively and sonically, never resting on their laurels, never taking themselves as individuals too seriously while always putting their souls into the music. They have won the hearts of anyone that has experienced their live shows, which have garnered a cult-like following in their native Ireland, the UK and most recently mainland Europe and North America.
