Music: The Itch – The Influencer / Co-Conspirator: Digital Decay Meets Punk Intellect

The Itch are a London-based post-punk quartet known for dissecting modern life with razor-sharp riffs and a sardonic grin. Their music sits at the collision point between wire-tight minimalism and maximalist frustration — angular guitars, propulsive drums, and vocals that sound half-sung, half-interrogated. They channel the spirit of Gang of Four, Shame, and Sleaford Mods, but infuse it with their own wry theatricality and millennial dread.

Emerging from London’s DIY underground, The Itch have earned a reputation for turning social commentary into rhythm. Every live show feels like controlled anarchy: sweat, sarcasm, and self-awareness all locked in perfect sync. They are the sound of overstimulation — loud, clever, and uncomfortably relatable.

“The Influencer / Co-Conspirator” is a biting two-part suite about image, identity, and complicity in a world obsessed with performance. The first half, “The Influencer,” skewers the curated chaos of digital fame — a strobe-lit satire of self-worship wrapped in relentless bass and jagged rhythm. The second, “Co-Conspirator,” flips the mirror inward, confronting how we all play a part in the machine we mock.

Together, the tracks create a feedback loop of irony and honesty, pulsing with urgency and wit. With “The Influencer / Co-Conspirator,” The Itch prove themselves one of the UK’s sharpest new voices — funny, furious, and frighteningly on point.
