In pictures: The Scratch running riot in The K! Pit

Following the release of their superb new album Pull Like A Dog, Irish folk-punk-metallers The Scratch tore through The K! Pit like a hound possessed, unleashing their unique, ferocious fury on 50 of their biggest fans in our favourite London dive bar, Blondies. With bodies colliding and barking along to every word, it was that particular flavour of joyous bedlam that only The Scratch could provide.

Speeding through a half-hour of power, including beer-swilling bangers Another Round, Cheeky Bastard, Gladrags, Pull Like A Dog and even a cheeky snippet of Mastodon's Blood And Thunder, the Dublin lads turned The K! Pit into a metallic melee.
