After a high-octane concert in autumn 2025, The Scratch return to Pumpehuset with their distinctive and festive blend of Irish folk music and metal.
The Scratch began as a project between friends in Dublin, but after a viral video from the Rory Gallagher Festival in 2017, it quickly grew into something much bigger. Since then, they have made a strong mark with the album Mind Yourself (2023), which reached #1 on the Irish vinyl chart and #3 on the official album chart. The album was nominated for Irish Album of the Year at the Choice Music Prize, and the band has since received attention from BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6, as well as appearing on The Late Late Show.
In recent years, they’ve been constantly on the move: touring the US with Dropkick Murphys, playing festivals across Europe, heading to Australia with Dermot Kennedy, and taking the stage at Download Festival in the UK. At the same time, their music has made its way into the Netflix series House of Guinness.
With their third album Pull Like A Dog, set for release on March 6, 2026, the band brings together threads from their earlier work while pushing their sound forward. The title comes from a quote about closing your eyes and fully committing—an approach that also defines the band itself. As they put it, it’s all about “sending it” and seeing what happens.
The Scratch are known for concerts that sweep the audience up from the very first second, with energy, presence, and a strong sense of community at the core. All is set for a night where anything can happen.
Efter en hæsblæsende koncert i efteråret 2025 vender The Scratch tilbage til Pumpehuset med deres særlige og festlige blanding af irsk folkemusik og metal
The Scratch startede som et projekt mellem venner i Dublin, men efter en viral video fra Rory Gallagher Festival i 2017 voksede det hurtigt til noget langt større. Siden da har de markeret sig stærkt med albummet Mind Yourself (2023), der gik #1 på den irske vinylhitliste og #3 på den officielle albumchart. Albummet blev nomineret til Irish Album of the Year ved Choice Music Prize, og bandet har siden fået opmærksomhed fra blandt andre BBC Radio 1 og BBC Radio 6 samt optrådt på The Late Late Show.
De har de seneste år været konstant på farten: turneret i USA med Dropkick Murphys, spillet festivaler rundt i Europa, været i Australien med Dermot Kennedy og stået på scenen til Download Festival i UK. Samtidig har deres musik fundet vej til Netflix-serien House of Guinness.
Med deres tredje album Pull Like A Dog, der udkommer 6. marts 2026, samler bandet trådene fra deres tidligere udgivelser og skubber deres lyd videre. Titlen er hentet fra et citat om at lukke øjnene og bare give sig fuldt ud, en tilgang, der også kendetegner bandet selv. Som de siger: det handler om at “send it” og se, hvad der sker.
The Scratch er kendt for koncerter, hvor publikum bliver revet med fra første sekund, og hvor tempo, nærvær og fællesskab er i centrum. Der er lagt op til en aften, hvor alt kan ske.
