The Scratch Cast - The Alternative Music Podcast - Episode 22

“Testudinate C*nt”

7th October 2022

It's been another long wait since the last episode of The Scratch Cast, we’re practically a quarterly podcast at this point, but we're finally back to discuss a load of great music released over the last few months!

On this episode, we discuss weak bladders, George Jetson’s birthday, broken foot gig cancellations, how George Clooney looks like a tortoise and oh yeah, music.

Snedds recants his experiences of “Viagra Boys” and “Man On Man” live and Grant gives us the lowdown on “Darwin Deez”.

The digital corkboard returns with album announcements from “WACO” (it’s been out for ages now), “Gogol Bordello” (it’s also out), “Press Club“ and “Brutus”.

On our singles swap we’re discussing “A Heretic's Inheritance” by Newark, New Jersey's underground hip hop duo “Dalek” and “Wrecked” from power pop garage rockers “Weird Nightmare”.

On submission corner, we've been sent the album “The Hum of the Machine” from sci-fi prog stoner rockers “Gramma Vedetta” and the “Shine” EP from the grungy post-hardcore band “Roseneath”.

Finally... our album selections this month are “Water Slide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky” from art-indie-rockers “Porridge Radio” and the new album ”Speak No Evil” from Glasgow-based multi-instrumentalist, singer and rapper “Becca Starr”.
