ABLAZE release Southern Rock inspired new single, ‘Old Scratch’

Launch Show At Cherry Bar, Melbourne On Nov 18

21 October 2023 The Rockpit

After the release and tour of the high, speed, high-energy single ‘Gasoline‘ earlier this year, Melbourne-based hard rockers Ablaze are back and sporting a little southern-rock swagger in the form of brand new single ‘Old Scratch‘!

A modern take on the age-old crossroads duel with the devil, with a twist—it’s a drink-off! A fine blend of both modern and southern blues rock mixed with Ablaze’s signature ear-worm choruses, big harmonies and solid guitar-driven groove, ‘Old Scratch’ delivers a sound that’s both nostalgic and true to their unique brand of modern hard rock.

Drawing plenty of inspiration from the irreverent humour of Tenacious D, the iconic guitar duel from the movie ‘Crossroads’ and a sprinkling of ‘Deliverance’, ‘Old Scratch’ sees the devil challenge our protagonist to a drinking showdown, injecting a little humour into the timeless tale of Robert Johnson’s legendary dealings with Lucifer himself.

Behind the lyrics, the music grooves with infectious riffs and rhythms that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no-time; this is one that’ll be stuck in your head for weeks!

And of course, with any great single, comes a great single launch! To mark the release of ‘Old Scratch’, Ablaze will be taking to the stage at the world-famous Cherry Bar on Saturday, November 18, with Sydney’s legendary Wicked Things and up-and-coming punk-grunge-groovers They Might Be Dead Frogs along for the ride.
