Irish punk band The Scratch have released their recent single, “Gladrags,” a track described as fiery yet reflective. A music video for the song, directed by Colin Peppard, accompanies the release and features the band members portraying professional snooker players.
The New Album
“Gladrags” is a preview of The Scratch’s upcoming album, ‘Pull Like A Dog,’ scheduled for release on March 13 via Music For Nations. The single follows the previously released “Pullin’ Teeth.”
Inspiration Behind the Song
The band shared that “Gladrags” was partially inspired by an interview with Tyler, The Creator. They described the song’s theme as exploring the cycle of inattentiveness, stating, “It’s about how being inattentive can land me in hot water, which ironically makes me wander further into my thoughts, resulting in this perpetual cycle of inattentiveness. But also seeing it in others and observing how they try to cover it up/deal with it.”

The Scratch are planning an extensive tour encompassing the UK, Ireland, North America, and Australia. They are scheduled to play their largest headline show to date on July 4 at Iveagh Gardens in Dublin, Ireland. Tickets are available here.
