Scratch came out in the late 90's, riding the Seattle music scene. Their previous albums - "Buy Me" and "Don't Touch That Rabid Squirrel" tried to capture their inner lives. Unsurprisingly, both albums flopped because none of the band members were deep enough to make compelling lyrics about their inner lives, and because they tried to make their music all natural. Trash cans have already been done and they were done much better than them. They finally scratched that idea and, after 2001, came out with "exciting times" which was a modern country album with patriotic songs such as "You can't do that to me," and "Crash and Burn". It was met with fangirls aplenty, only proving that fame is only one sell-out away.

Now I want to hear what it sounds like >.<
Brilliant! However, I think they sound a little more like a bad 90s version of OK Go with a touch of Savage Garden's fast points slapped rather poorly atop that.
This reminds one of Sven from QC, no?
Who?
