The Scratch ‘I relax to the spiral scratch’ (pony land). Oh yeah - doesn’t get much better than this, ultra limited 100 only re-release for this the debut outing from the much admired the Scratch sees the band continuing their plundering of the archives leading up to the eventual re-mastered ready for download issue of their long since out of print and dare we say much sought after ‘DIY‘ full length. Originally seeing the light of day in 2002 / 2003 this was at the time something of a hi-fi hogger in our gaff. A homage of sorts to the Buzzcocks legendary DIY debut ’spiral scratch’ EP before of course Devoto jumped ship to later re-emerge fronting Magazine and the newly re-jigged Shelley fronted Buzzcocks hot footed it to label major UA. A killer tune that has resisted the onset of passing years to still sound like a long lost and forgotten diamond ditty turned up from a late 70’s scene, shaping up much like something resulting from a fist fight between the Saints and the Dead Boys ’I relax to spiral scratch’ is acutely wired and dirty, scowling and cocksure, petulant and snotty and above all about you in an instant - daubed with a face peeling razor like retro grind that’s dimpled with a caustic glam tinged rash and simultaneously threaded with a deliciously turbo tripped scuzzy chug. Flip over for an equally engaged slab of ear candy in the shape of ’trigger finger’ which reveals something of a latent white funk post punk disco persona to the bands melodic psyche as it manages to embrace with much aplomb elements of mid 70’s Stones, early 90’s Primal Scream, Soup Dragons and a fair old smidgeon of Carter USM into its hip shaking lysergic fringe flipping boogie brew. And before you ask - indeed yes you do need it.
