The SCRATCH
The Scratch are a band that don’t seem to fit in anywhere, but have proven to fit in everywhere. Starting out with just acoustic guitars and a wooden box, the band created an immediate buzz in their hometown of Dublin, Ireland. Seemingly incapable of keeping themselves boxed in to one singular genre, they meander intentionally around heavy metal, Irish folk music, stadium rock, and post punk. Constantly evolving both creatively and sonically, never taking themselves as individuals too seriously while always putting their souls into the music. They have won the hearts of anyone that has experienced their live shows, which have garnered a cult-like following in Ireland, the UK and most recently mainland Europe and North America.

BEASTS
Blending genres such as punk, noise, rap and doom in a very personal way, BEASTS is Antoine Romeo's (ex-run SOFA) first solo project.
With an incisive debut album, The Shearing (La Base SBL/Rockerill Records, April 18th 2025), is drenched in subjects such as immigration, intergenerational trauma, class war and social reproduction. BEASTS's music is cathartic, visceral and uncompromised.
To shape this project, the artist from Charleroi, who grew up in a large family of Italian immigrants in the 90's, got together with Ghentian drummer Tijl Van de Casteele (Whorses) and Tournaisian bassist François Hantson (Feel, Mingawash).
