"Scrounge place the power of their beliefs at the core of their debut full-length album, and their guiding motivation towards social justice is as fierce as it is welcoming." - Line of Best Fit
"Aggressively simple guitar riffs and almost techno-inspired drum patterns provide a clean, lean foundation from which the songs alternately build or burst." - Loud and Quiet
Scrounge have released “Buzz/Cut”, their final single from, Almost Like You Could, out April 18th “Buzz/Cut” reaches back to an early grunge sound, with guitars shouting from the gutter. It’s also one of their catchiest and most danceable (punk dancing, that is) songs. Channeling the influence of bands like Fugazi, Unwound, and Sonic Youth, “UTG” is an urgent burst of sound, showcasing Lucy Alexander’s serrated guitar work and Luke Cartledge’s forceful drumming.
Lucy says of the track: "Buzz/Cut is about pleasure, self acceptance and having a good time. This song is a release of tension and something we always looking forward to playing live"
Scrounge remains deeply engaged with their community, both in their lyrics and in their ethos. They have a short podcast exploring their creative process and the themes of the album.
Always a force on stage, the London-based duo are playing the first of many shows on April 23rd at The Lexington in London. Almost Like You Could is out on April 18th via Ba Da Bing.
