   The Scratch's Gary Regan: Pull Like A Dog, His Musical Journey & The Future of The Band

   Gary Regan from Irish folk-metal powerhouse The Scratch joins me for a deep dive into his journey through music, joining The Scratch, the band's evolution and their incredible new album, Pull Like A Dog. We get into Gary's musical upbringing, the first albums that influenced him, the artists and guitar players that shaped his playing, and his journey through the Irish heavy music scene with bands including Hero In Error and Red Enemy before eventually becoming part of The Scratch. We then get right into The Scratch and how the band's sound has evolved over the years. Pull Like A Dog feels like another huge step forward, bringing together the band's Irish and folk influences with progressive metal, djent-inspired riffs, crushing breakdowns and some seriously heavy moments. Gary takes us through some of the tracks on the album, including the stories behind certain songs, the lyrics and even how old poems eventually found their way into the record. We also talk about the chemistry between the four members of The Scratch, what makes the band work so well, the recording process and what it's like being part of a band whose live shows are genuinely unlike anything I've experienced in recent years. We chat about some of the band's biggest shows and festivals, including Bloodstock, Inveagh Gardens and Electric Picnic, and look ahead to what's next for The Scratch. And, of course, we finish things off with a fun quickfire round with Gary covering everything from Guinness and Irish music to his favourite pastimes, bands, food and plenty more! If you're a fan of The Scratch, Pull Like A Dog, Irish metal, folk metal, progressive metal or just great conversations with Irish musicians, there's loads here for you. 🎸 Check out The Scratch: The Scratch Official Website 🎧 Listen to Pull Like A Dog and support The Scratch wherever you get your music.

   PRESIDENT – BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE | Full Album Reaction & Review

   PRESIDENT – BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE | FULL ALBUM REACTION & REVIEW President are back with their new album Blood of Your Empire, and after listening through the entire album, I have to say… I was seriously impressed! In this video, I sit down for a full album listen-through and reaction, giving you my honest thoughts as I experience the album before giving you my final score at the end. What really stood out to me was just how experimental President are willing to be on this record. You still get that unmistakable President DNA running through the album, but they aren't afraid to bring in completely different influences and sounds. We're talking punk rock, drum & bass, unexpected instrumentation and even trumpets appearing on one of the tracks! One of the biggest standouts for me was “This Will Divide Us”, a powerful ballad-type track that shows another side of the band and adds even more variety to the album. Overall, I went into this album curious about what President would do next, and I came away very impressed with Blood of Your Empire. 🎧 CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro 02:10 – Full Album Listen-Through 47:11 – Review & Album Score 49:24 – End What did YOU think of Blood of Your Empire? Let me know your favourite track and your score for the album in the comments! 🔥 Full album reaction 🔥 First impressions 🔥 Album review 🔥 Experimental sounds & influences 🔥 “This Will Divide Us” 🔥 Final album score #President #BloodOfYourEmpire #PresidentBand #AlbumReaction #MetalReaction #RockReaction #Metal #Rock #NewMusic Hosted on Acast.
