lyrics
When it all get too much
And I can’t stand the hype
You are my salvation
You show me wrong from right
When all these false dawns
Lay gaping and there’s nothing left to trust
My only means of escaping
is vinyl primal lust
We’re Independent and unrepentant
We’re Independent are you?
We’re Independent and unrepentant
So what the hell are you… gonna do?
Today was like any other day
I had to get my fix
So I went to the local ‘superstore’
To re-leave my teenage kicks
But all the wracks and recommendations
The neon and the sales just left me cold
Salvations train had left the rails
The spell had lost its hold
It’s the pain, it’s the inspiration
That keeps this fire alive
Without diversification
You and I will not survive.
And I can’t stand the hype
You are my salvation
You show me wrong from right
When all these false dawns
Lay gaping and there’s nothing left to trust
My only means of escaping
is vinyl primal lust
We’re Independent and unrepentant
We’re Independent are you?
We’re Independent and unrepentant
So what the hell are you… gonna do?
Today was like any other day
I had to get my fix
So I went to the local ‘superstore’
To re-leave my teenage kicks
But all the wracks and recommendations
The neon and the sales just left me cold
Salvations train had left the rails
The spell had lost its hold
It’s the pain, it’s the inspiration
That keeps this fire alive
Without diversification
You and I will not survive.

about
The Scratch St Albans, UK
A rock band from St.Albans & Firm believers in DIY ethic they released their 1st single as 7” vinyl only in 2002 & was
stocked by Rough Trade in London.
An amalgum of T.Rex, Velvet Undergroud & other good things plus a big dollop of themselves. Eccentric english rock‘n’roll, with weird catchy riffs. Dark & other times funny, they don’t do po-faced indie thank god! [Marco Pirroni, The Wolfmen]
