Testimonials

 

I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I'm on Indie bands vol 50, I just got my cds and download cards in the mail. Right on!!!

-Thomas Sparks

 

 

When I (our band, Bring The Thunder from the UK) was contacted- I did a bit of research and I came across a forum where you guys were standing up for your magazine and I've got to say that the people on there have no right spreading that sort of stuff - it's slander at the end of the day. I am honestly disappointed that a handful of people would go out their way to try and destroy a good hard working company's name its not fair. You guys have done nothing but try and help us and I thank you for that. Skratch- I have all the respect in the world for what your doing.

-John Atkinson Bring The Thunder, UK

 

 

"I have been working with Skratch Magazine for a long time now, and they never let me or any of my bands down. Besides all the good press, interviews, reviews, promos, and etc, I have received with any of my bands I am either currently in or was a part of (i.e. Larger Than Life, The New Addiction, and Gunpowder Sunset), Skratch is always there for the artists and the fans. Truly a DIY and Independent magazine that breaks from the mold. It was always a good thing to be a part of the annual Skratch/Warped Tour Compilations every year, and the press is always amazing! Skratch always supports me and all the bands I produce under my Production Recording Label, Rdub Recordings. It is always a breath of fresh air to know that Scott and everyone at Skratch Magazine have my back."

-Roland Lee Ware II Gunpowder Sunset, Larger Than Life, The New Addiction CEO/Rdub Recordings

 

 

"Caitlin and the rest of the guys at Skratch magazine really do care about getting underground music out, and even being considered for one of their compilation cds was a big compliment. Punished has only benefitted from working with this great group of people. They care about the music first and the rest second. Thanks Caitlin and Skratch!"

-Sheldon – Punished V39

 

 

"The opportunity to have our music heard by thousands of people was too good to pass up, and with the help of Scott and the awesome team at Skratch, Blow Up Betty were able to make that happen on Volume 35 of the Skratch Magazine Compilation. The CD was awesome, and the accompanying magazine was a great read. Considering the distance (US to Australia) and the time difference, the team at Skratch handled things in the quickest and most professional way possible. We would definitely recommend Skratch to anyone!"

"One of the largest punk zines still put together by punks. Located in California."
-Hussieskunk Radio

 

 

"One thing about Skratch: it sure grabs your attention...George W. Bush as an Uzi-wielding, black-uniformed storm trooper. A chubby naked man frolicking on a beach. A cop on a random shooting spree, having just removed his human face mask, revealing his true self, that of a fiery-eyed swine. All those images have appeared on the Orange-based punk-infested magazine’s cover since its 1996 inception..."
-OC Weekly, Rich Kane

 

 

"Two years ago, three high school students, Mat Finkler, James Peters and Mike Schnell, started practicing music in their Chugiak and Thunderbird Falls homes, forming the band Omdiecca. Now they've caught the attention of Los Angeles-based punk and independent magazine Skratch. Their newly-recorded track, “Waist Deep,” will be on the magazine's quarterly compilation CD, which will be distributed nationally."
- Alaska Star. Mary Lochner

 

 

"Skratch was easy to work with and very nice. It was deifintely great being a part of the volume 40 sampler."
-Tyler, 3 Feet To Fall (Kalamazoo, MI)

 

 

"We actually put a track on the last mp3 sampler that you guys put out, and were very happy w/ how everything went."
-Reason To Rebel

 

 

"Absolute respect goes out to Skratch magazine from Northern New York State's extreme metal masters PENETRATION. It was an honor to be contacted by the magazine and asked to contribute, the staff was really flexible and easy to work with, and we are thrilled to be on the Skratch compilation cd #43, distributed at the Rockstar Mayhem Energy Festival dates to so many people! I look forward to the interview!!! Hailz!!!"
-Jesse Bartlett/Penetration
