14th May 2024

We're finally back with another new episode of The Scratch Cast: The Alternative Music Podcast. Did you miss us?

On this episode Grant talks a lot about Blackpool, we try to find Keanu Reeves, and we discuss the phenomenon of people our age looking a lot older in the 80s...

On our singles swap we discuss: "10 Mile Smile" by Elgin solo artist Jay Taulier and "Stand Up or Sit Down" by Glasgow's The Kidney Flowers (@thekidneyflowers7623).

We also talk about the gigs we’ve been to recently - including Bombay Bicycle Club (@BombayBicycleClub), Dragged Up (@draggedupband2297), Amateur Cult (@amateurcult) and Creeper (@WEARECREEPERTV) - and last but not least we’ve got reviews of the following albums: "Boombap for Boomers" from alt/rock, hip-hop fusion-ista Lewca (@LewcaMusic), "The Heartist" a visual album from Irish musician Galvo (@galvo_galvo ), "World Wide Willow" from Utrecht rockers Kaspar Baum (@kasparbaum), and "Take It Or Leave It" from Derry pop punks CHERYM (@CHERYM).
