About Us
Scotchka is an Emo/Indie band out of Albany, NY that utilizes various elements of their punk rock contemporaries and juxtaposes them with acoustic guitars, multi-layered harmonies, and a heavy emphasis on lyricism.
Initially starting off in 2015 as lead singer/song-writer Dominick Murdock's acoustic solo project during his Sophomore year of college entitled "Good Hair," the band has since grown to establish a new identity as a tongue-in-cheek, self-aware alt-rock band with lyrics that intend to subvert or lampoon the established norms of the genre in a loving fashion.
In the summer of 2017 the 4-track "Afraid To Fall Asleep" EP was recorded at Poison Noise Studios and released in conjecture with a four-day release tour. This was the band's first professional release under the "Scotchka" name.
In the summer of 2018 the band's second professional release, the 5-track "Locket" acoustic EP, was recorded at The Bunker Studios and released on all streaming platforms. The EP was promoted through a series of local performances in DIY venues as these spaces emphasized more personal themes and earnest songwriting.
Scotchka makes monthly donations to the WWF to support the cause for wildlife conservation. We are pro-environment and detest logging/deforestation, over-consumption of non-renewable fuel sources, environmental pollution by private industries, and animal exploitation.
