It's been another long wait but we're back with a new episode of The Scratch Cast. Since we last met, Grant laid some slabs and became a Swifty, while Snedds witnessed a man's descent into madness during Dune: The Musical.

On our singles swap we’re discussing The Sink by indie folk duo hey, nothing and Danzig With Myself by your favourite specialists in car advert music The Dandy Warhols, featuring the legendary Frank Black.

We’ll talk about the gigs we’ve been to recently (including DVNE, Taylor Swift and James), the digital corkboard is back (including new music from Becca Starr) and finally, we’ve got our album reviews: Divine Accusations from Belfast-based rockers Black Opal, Can’t hate you forever from Dartmouth, Halifax four-piece Safeword, You’re Just Jealous from Leeds and York-based indie punks Crumbs, A Bolt From The Blue from post-hardcore punks MODERN SHAKES, and apricity from Brighton’s post-rock / progressive metal/post-hardcore quintet VOWER.

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
