Portrait

In a few words

There is more than one artist with this name, including: 1) an Irish folk metal band from from Dublin. 2) a British art rock band from St.Albans; 1) The Scratch are a four-piece band that fuse heavy metal, punk, and traditional Irish folk music. The band was founded in Perrystown, Dublin, by former Red Enemy members Jordan "Jordo" O'Leary, Daniel "Lango" Lang, Conor "Dock" Dockery, and Peter Keogh. After growing jaded with the constraints of the heavy metal scene, the musicians gathered in a kitchen and began jamming with acoustic guitars and a wooden box, leaning into a fusion of traditional folk melodies and thrash-metal energy. In late 2024, founding guitarist Jordan O'Leary announced his departure from the band. He was replaced by Gary "Snakeskin" Regan, with Daniel Lang stepping into expanded lead vocal duties. Discography: Old Songs (EP, 2018) The Whole Buzz (EP, 2019) Couldn't Give a Rats (Album, 2020) Mind Yourself (Album, 2023) Pull Like A Dog (Album 2026) Current Members: Conor "Dock" Dockery – guitar, backing vocals Daniel "Lango" Lang – cajón, percussion,lead vocals Cathal McKenna – bass, backing vocals Gary "Snakeskin" Regan – guitar, backing vocal 2) The Scratch are a St.Albans based five peice band formed in 2002.
