The Scratch
The Scratch will perform at Bike Jesus.
The Scratch are a Dublin four-piece who mash Irish folk with metal intensity. They formed in 2016 from the wreckage of metal band Red Enemy, swapping downtuned electrics for acoustics and a cajón. Street sets in Dublin went viral early. Couldn't Give a Rats (2020) and Mind Yourself (2023) put them on festival stages and a Choice Music Prize shortlist. Guitarist Jordan O'Leary left in December 2024; Gary Regan stepped in. Third album Pull Like a Dog (March 2026) is their heaviest release yet.
The band announced its biggest-ever UK tour for early 2027 (Glasgow, Manchester, London and more).
A European headline tour for November-December 2026 was announced, including Prague.
Third album Pull Like a Dog landed via Music For Nations / Sony Music Ireland.
Jordan O'Leary announced his exit; Gary Regan replaced him.
