The Scratch Cast - The Alternative Music Podcast - Episode 24: “A Ten Out Of Ten Bonanza”

12th March 2023

It's a ten-out-of-ten bonanza on Episode 24 of The Scratch Cast! On our latest episode we give out our highest rating no less than four times - have we gone mental? Listen in to find out!

First, we run through our ratings from 2022 to establish The Scratch Cast's Top 5 (ish) singles and albums of last year.

Next, Grant hasn't been to any gigs this month, so Snedds gives the lowdown on Viagra Boys live at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow.

On the digital corkboard, we discuss the new band Really Big Really Clever, the upcoming new album from TDK, and we recommend three very different music documentaries - Right Here, Right Now, The Kemps: All True and Punk Rock Vegan Movie.

On our singles swap we discuss "Suicide" by Irish avante-garde punk producer Meryl Streek and "Fallout" by the veteran New Jersey indie rock band Yo La Tengo.

And finally… our album reviews are “Night Terrors” the latest album from London-based DIY garage rockers The Fades, “Cans” the debut album from Brighton-based hardcore punks Regal Cheer, “Cocoon” the sophomore album from Polish gothic/doom merchants Give Up To Failure and last but not least, “Emerald Hummingbirds in Turquoise Sassafras 2.0933333334” the third album of uncategorisable weirdness from Bulgarian band MUDDY.
