SCRATCH ONE GRUB emerge from the valleys with their debut album One, arriving Friday 27 February. Blending progressive ambition, alt-metal grit, and raw emotion, the Welsh six-piece stake their claim as one of the UK’s most exciting new heavy acts. Their new single, #1, out now, delivers biting rhythms, big hooks, and intricate musicianship — a bold introduction to their sound. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uGqee_0lAY .

Formed in Aberdare, South Wales, SCRATCH ONE GRUB comprises Aled Trigg (Vocals), Lewis Griffiths (Drums/Vocals), Sean ‘The Grub Man’ Barry (Samples/Vocals), Evan Cook (Lead Guitar), Alex Lewis (Rhythm Guitar), and Zac Cross (Bass). Since their formation, the band have quickly earned a reputation for their genre-defying sound and visceral live energy — blending the expansive scope of modern progressive metal with the urgency and heart of the alt scene.
Sharing stages with the likes of Dead Flesh, Continents, Confessions of a Traitor, Manumit, Calvaria, House of Hosts, and Confessions of a Serial Killer has only strengthened their growing status as one of the most dynamic new forces in UK heavy music.
Armed with a debut full-length that captures their intensity in full — sprawling yet direct, experimental yet deeply rooted in groove and emotion — SCRATCH ONE GRUB are set to carry the torch for a new generation of Welsh metal.
