Hailing from the slums of Los Kempos, Belgian three-piece Itches was awakened from cryogenic sleep paralysis in 2020, and has been on a bender ever since. The band’s sound is infused with cheap canned alcoholic beverages, resulting in a perfect blend of wild garage poppiness, 60s freakbeat, primal punk, and most of all, heavyweight jangle.

In August 2024, the band released their debut album ‘Two Flies In One Clap’ on UhmYeahSure Records/Ronny Rex. The name is a bastardisation of a well-known Belgian saying, meaning ‘to kill two birds with one stone’. The album was recorded live at the studio of underground garage hero Rafael Valles Hilario (Tuff Guac, MOAR, Mitraille) and captures Itches’ raw sound.

The band’s lo-fi catchiness is reminiscent of acts like Black Lips, Thee Oh Sees and Ty Segall. Itches has played support shows for Tramhaus, Meltheads and Hockey Dad and has performed at the legendary Sjock Festival. Their performances are electrifying and their energy is contagious. But please go see for yourself, if you can catch them alive!
