Had the pleasure of three of these lads in my taxi from Salisbury to Bristol. Top lads kept me entertained all the way with their Irish humour. I've now listened to some of your tracks and have to say I'm a fan. Different to the usual stuff I listen to but I'll be seeking out more. All the best lads , I wish you every success and will hopefully see you live one day. Wayne
Lucky man. And on yourselves boys!! This banger got us a morning in the cells when the drop hit as we were boozing in the kitchen. Note to self - must install knob by the sink. Cheers for the tunes!!!!!!
Yep I saw them on feb 27th with Pennywise and Dropkick and damn was it one helluva great time! I'd see em again in a heartbeat. My whole family fell in love with them!
Saw these guys in Lancaster Pennsylvania last night opening for Pennywise and The Dropkick Murphy's. Had no clue who they were going in, and now I'll never forget these absolute legends
I had the privilege of operating the camera on this. Best tune and best pop promo I've worked on. Tremendous energy from the band and wonderful guys. Regretfully I've never seen them live but hopefully that changes soon.
Nope. Shot in Dublin last year. Just watched them Live last night at vicar street. Bloody brilliant. Btw check out their opening act 'Really Good Time'. That's a band to keep an eye on
Yeah they are def lit. My lady showed me this band and grew up out there so I was shocked thinking they didn’t shoot their videos (especially that one) in Ireland. Thank God I read that wrong. I thought you hadn’t seen them live because you were Stateside and I was like “what??? They get paid enough to get the equipment anywhere” FR they super dope though. This video is unreal I can’t stop watching it 😂😂😂 known about them for like a week and the video stays blowing my mind 🫡🫡🫡🫡
Saw these lads in Dublin 3 Arena, 14.1.23. On between The Rumjacks who can play a bit and The Dropkicks. These lads blew both other bands away. Brilliant. One of the best bands I've ever seen live and I'm putting them up with the Foo Fighters, ACDC and Guns and Roses in their pomp. Jesus, that made me feel old. Never seen or heard anything from them before. I'm a new fan.
Extremely good music and a hell of a videoclip. That's exactly how good evenings happen to end up with the hammering question "How could all this take place within 5 pints of beer?!?" 🤔 Can't hardly wait to see you at Reload Festival on Thursday.
I randomly went into a pub for some grub and a sneaky pint or 3 about 3 days ago and this song came on and I instantly loved it, so I shazamed it, and went down the rabbit hole of the music, videos, the lot! And have been listening to them since, For whatever it's worth they now have 1 new fan! Fuckin amazing stuff 😊
Fire. DJing NYC 4 weekly residencies. Born n raised in Dublin half my life & now in US more than half my life, Gearing up for Paddy's day & play in Irish establishments so hunting for new Irish bands to play. Go raibh mile!
How I never heard of ye before is beyond me but I'm loving it, only that your supporting the dropkick Murphys in a couple weeks that brought me here, can't wait to see ye live now
Hell yeah! just seen these guys live in Edmonton AB last night; never hearing any of their music before I looked them up and this was the first song I came across (few hours before the show). I'm a little bit ignorant when it comes to music; been listening to the same shit for years because ....well, perhaps i'm slowly turning into my old man: "you call that music ... that's not music:" Anyway, this is MUSIC! glad I got a chance to see these guys live with a little meet and greet after the show to get my Sons of Ireland shirt signed.
Saw these guys at Download 2022 thinking they would be something different/interesting, ended up being one of the highlights of my weekend and now I can't get them out of my head :D keep it up lads!
Haha, same here! That tent was full of so much energy, the most I've just wanted to let loose and just dance at a gig - and that audience member who ended up on stage singing was awesome!
Saw them at Beautiful Days last summer. Heard a cracking cover of Sally MacLennane coming from rhe main stage, and went to check out the band.. so glad we did, incredible, and for us, band of fhe weekend. Got vaxk and checked out the albums. Great stuff.
I didn't think that after all those years I'd still hear a new spin on the tried and true Irish Drinking Song, but here you are. I know this word is terribly overused these days, but man: This is epic. Wish you all the best and the success you deserve lads, and hopefully this boomer (well, basically) gets to see you live as soon as possible!

Now that's a f#×king cool comment . Class man
Just saw them live in the states last week (Lancaster PA)
Never heard of them, but they put on a hell of a set! And now I'm loving them.
Lucky man. And on yourselves boys!!
This banger got us a morning in the cells when the drop hit as we were boozing in the kitchen. Note to self - must install knob by the sink.

I cannot stress enough the brilliance of the line, "and isn’t that your man that barred us last time for singing ‘Ra tunes on a tuesday night?"
More is the only answer
I just saw the Scratch lastnight. I am now a fan! They opened for Pennywise and Dropkick Murphys. What an amazing show!!!
I just saw the same show yesterday. These dudes fuckin killed it! I went to see pennywise, I wasn't expecting this. It was awesome!!
Instant fan from that show in the quad cities too!!
Yep I saw them on feb 27th with Pennywise and Dropkick and damn was it one helluva great time! I'd see em again in a heartbeat. My whole family fell in love with them!

This is a fantastic video. Really well executed, and brilliant acting from everyone too. Loved It!
Never saw them live? Did they do their video in the States or something like that? Thats cray if they did
Nope. Shot in Dublin last year. Just watched them Live last night at vicar street. Bloody brilliant. Btw check out their opening act 'Really Good Time'. That's a band to keep an eye on

@@CrashBarbosa this exactly! discovered them four days ago, and already want to marry the four of them! "god slap" is also tremendously brilliant!
Bodkin had one of the best soundtracks of 2024 and thank you for introducing me to The Scratch.
Just saw them in Norfolk. It was such a a great fuckin show
Right lads, The Scratch for Eurovision when
Absolutely!!!! Compared to Jedward...xD
Cant disrespect The Scratch like that. The Eurovision is for gowls
@@KieranK695 Eurovision is a bit of craic and t'would be absolute no harm sending the lads if they were up for it - obviously only if they were!
The Eurovision is a heap of shit. These guys are too good for that crap
I STAND BY THIS EVEN MORE NOW
Jasus, this song makes me want to go on the lash..
Then go! Dont be a bloke! :)

Same show! Their crowd management from the stage was incredible!
foo fighters, lol
Hopefully, Bodkin will give them more views! They're awesome.
A girl I just started talking to showed me this band, think I found the right one boys
Ive never wanted a cigarette more in my life
😂
Dieng myself now lol
Same, and I'm literally smoking one right now!
That thunderous drop towards the end is incredible. Wall of sound haha.
Instant fan.
Never heard of you guys until today. That is my sin. See you guys on Feb 27th with DKM in Evansville, IN
I’ve never seen a night out summed up better
Just listen for a drop on 3.30
It will make you jump 😍
They opened for drop kick Murphy in fookingNY and I Fooking love them! Amazing ☘️😺
I'll be seeing you lads in Bergen in June, lads! Can't wait.
I'm here via Bodkin.. Only heard about 10 seconds of this at the end credits and ran to do a search!
Without a shadow of a doubt the best band I've seen for a long long time. Utterly live affirming.
Just saw them tonight in London. Fucking insane energy. Unreal gig.
Paganistic as fuck. I was only short of whipping my clothes off, painting myself blue and attacking England. Fucking savage
That drop at 3:35! OP AF!
Saw them in idahofalls last night 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Feel like I need a night out like this again 😄
Saw them play last night and they KILLED IT!! Keep up the good work boys!
this….this is fucking off the charts amazing. Best song and video I have seen for 25 years.
Seen these guys at All Together Now Festival,and were amazing, plus had pleasure of meeting the lovely Barmaid from this video at the Festival.
Extremely good music and a hell of a videoclip.
That's exactly how good evenings happen to end up with the hammering question "How could all this take place within 5 pints of beer?!?" 🤔
Can't hardly wait to see you at Reload Festival on Thursday.
Saw The Scratch in Toronto in March 2023. The energy they brought was something else. Epic gig. Will 100% go see them again, such good craic.
Get here through Bodkin 🙏
Love this band and music 🫶
What a band lads. Only started listening to these lads. And can't get enough of them. Top class
Damn this is good. Irish Traditional, rock, The Tea Party (minus the sitar) and a little bit of VAST thrown in!
Holy crap, I thought I was the only one who remembered VAST, lol. Their best stuff isn't even on Spotify 😭
Saw them in Evansville, IN. Incredible
This!, is exceptional talent. Hats off to the scratch!
This is an absolute banger! Thanks Bodkin for showing me the way here. I will be checking out more of The Scratch for sure.
I randomly went into a pub for some grub and a sneaky pint or 3 about 3 days ago and this song came on and I instantly loved it, so I shazamed it, and went down the rabbit hole of the music, videos, the lot!
And have been listening to them since,
For whatever it's worth they now have 1 new fan!
