Scratched Magazine exists to restore chaos, character, and uncompromising honesty to music criticism.
We are here to speak the uncomfortable truth, elevate what deserves it, and mock what doesn’t — all while making the reader feel something. Whether that’s laughter, disgust, awe, or identity-crushing emotional recognition, we’re happy either way.
We believe criticism is an art form.
We believe entertainment can be intelligent.
And we believe music journalism doesn’t have to sound like a brand deal.
We write for people who are tired of five-star mediocrity and desperate for one voice that still gives a damn.
