Irish punk outfit The Scratch have returned with a new track titled Gladrags, adding another chapter to their recent run of releases. The band confirmed the single’s arrival this week, describing it as a song that captures both intensity and reflection.

Gladrags leans into the group’s raw, percussive style, driven by pounding rhythms and sharp vocals. At the same time, the lyrics pull inward, focusing on vulnerability and self-examination. The band said the track explores the contrast between outward confidence and private doubt, a theme that runs quietly beneath its forceful sound.

Known for blending punk energy with folk influences, The Scratch continue to build momentum on the live circuit. The release follows a series of performances that have strengthened their reputation for high-impact shows rooted in rhythm and connection.

With Gladrags, the band stays true to their core sound while allowing space for a more personal tone, offering listeners something both urgent and thoughtful.
