Episode 25: “A Lot Of Intense Frottage” - The Scratch Cast: The Alternative Music Podcast - 17th June 2023 There’s a lot of intense frottage on Episode 25 of The Scratch Cast! As usual, we’re a bit behind and this was recorded months ago, so a lot of our references to dates and times will be out of date. On this jam-packed episode, Snedds talks about Garth Marenghi’s Terrortome, the Chuun Spring Fling and Stag & Dagger 2023. We also chat about our mutual experience of Seas, Starry live at The Old Hairdressers in Glasgow. Basically, we got pished. On the digital corkboard, we recommend: the new EP from Jodie Langford, the latest EP from Mist & Wing, and the charity compilation “You Matter Part II” from Ripcord Records. On our singles swap we’re talking about "Hi Ren" by singer/songwriter, producer, rapper and multi-instrumentalist Ren and "A Definitive Guide To Easy Living" by Brighton indie-rock outfit Youth Sector. Finally… our album reviews are “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” the debut EP from DIY emo/punks Big Hug, “The Great Nothing” the debut album from cosmic alt. prog/rockers Magna Zero, “Galore” the new album from grungy hardcore punks The St Pierre Snake Invasion and finally “Third Side Of The Coin” from Edinburgh-based, nomadic songwriter Inkfields.
