From the first few notes, this record grabs you. It’s raw soul and funk music crafted to perfection. Wailing vocals, soaring horns, and a super-tight rhythm section. With a dirty production style, Soul Scratch serves up something that’s familiar, yet fresh, and never more relevant.

This soulful sextet is a hard-hitting groove machine, built in L.A.‘s San Fernando Valley, on a mission to save the world from mediocrity. Johnny Chou, Joel Givertz, Adam Greenberg, Matt Reale, Dale Spollett, and a host of musicians combine their love of The JB’s, Booker T & the MG’s, Curtis Mayfield, and all 1960-‘70s soul on their high-energy debut full-length Pushing Fire.

Soul Scratch is rapidly branching out of their L.A. base on a quest to bring good times, quality get-down, and their own special brand of soul to every corner of the country.

Frontman Dale Spollett says this of their song “It’s Not Over” from their new Pushing Fire album, “When my grandmother passed away last year, it was a huge blow to me. She shaped my view of the world immensely and this song was meant to be a tribute to what she taught me. To remind myself and others that no matter how bad things get, there’s still a reason to fight oppression and the miseries of the world. We can always keep pushing forward because there will always be those in the world that need our help. It’s something I try to tell myself every day.”
