The Scratch Homely Crackle 2011

Homely Crackle by The Scratch is a 3 minute blast of psychedelic tinged, power pop, punk, harking back to the halcyon days of the gritty, vibrant, inspiration soaked record stores of yesteryear.

Tangible, tongue in cheek, but loaded with passion, “I really get a buzz from your lick-able fuzz!” it crashes in, builds and is gone, before you get a chance to catch your breath, think Undertones pop, a Damned early 80’s delivery and a Pixies dynamic. B-side ‘Narcotic Hearts’ takes a more glam slant on proceedings with a more than a subtle tinge of early Ants and ‘Groover’ era T.Rex about it. With a pumping bass driven verse and a chorus that could easily have influenced the ‘I don’t care’ sessions by The Boys.
