We’re not here to review music. We’re here to reckon with it.

Scratched Magazine is a fiercely independent publication built for people who are tired of reading reviews that sound like PR emails and playlists that feel like beige wallpaper. We don’t care about hype, followers, or five-star flattery. We care about truthtone, and the unholy art of telling it like it is.

Founded by people who feel too much and lie about it, Scratched delivers criticism with teeth — unfiltered, poetic, occasionally unhinged. We write for the jaded, the curious, the emotionally scorched, and anyone who’s ever rewound a song thirty times just to figure out if it was genius or garbage.

If a track is great, we’ll canonize it with biblical fire.
If it’s trash, we’ll salt the earth and roast marshmallows on the ashes.
Either way, we’ll make it worth the read.

No fluff. No fear. No apologies. Just music criticism the way it was meant to be: loud, literary, and slightly dangerous.
