Is The Scratch AI?
No — The Scratch is a real band.
We list 15 live shows for them across 14 venues. AI-generated acts do not book venues, sell tickets and turn up — it is the one thing a generated project cannot fake, and the tell behind every AI band exposed so far.

Everything else we checked
- Live shows 15 shows listed at 14 venues, 15 of them upcoming. A generated act does not book venues and play them.
- Presence elsewhere We hold no website, Bandcamp or social links for this act — though we may simply never have collected them.
- MusicBrainz Could not reach MusicBrainz for this check.
Some of these checks may look inconclusive on their own — a band can be missing from MusicBrainz or release quickly. They do not change the answer. The gig history settles it.
