The Scrapes, formed in Brisbane, Australia early in 2009, are an unusual duo of feedback-drenched guitar and violin, and the occasional self-made instrument. Their music is rooted in the traditions of western classical music, but absolutely breaks those chains. Inspired equally by composers such as Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass and La Monte Young, and pioneers of drone Tony Conrad and Spacemen 3; The Scrapes are immersive and chaotic.

"Hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the music of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and abandoned fiddle pieces evoke images of lost lands inundated by the oceans, lost Iberian & Armorican sea peoples and lost times from beyond the beyond. Mostly, violinist Adam Cadell conjures up a fabulous and heathen see-sawing from his machine, kicking up a down home/back porch Henry Flyntian dust that guitarist/axe wielder Ryan Potter orchestrates with apocalyptic power chords and huge crunching rhythms." - Julian Cope
