Dragged up, machine music and orchard

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult

Dragged Up formed in Glasgow, in late 2018. They deftly assimilate garage-psych, art-punk, experimental rock,

and post-doom, with soundscape and spoken word elements.

‘Dragged Up’s style is eclectic and intense, distilling much of the history of alternative music into a single band, and doing so in a highly inventive manner.’ Kim Harten Lam, Bliss Aquamarine

‘Their arty slack-punk attack has roots in the anorak era, but displays a much scummier surface than any of those poppers ever managed. Loose loud psych guitar gets woven into vocals with a certain paisley heft, but it’s all presented without cliches. Very, very cool’ - Byron Coley, The Wire

They have received airplay on Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone, Louder Than War radio, Radio Free Brooklyn, KEXP and WFMU and supported bands such as Acid Mothers Temple, Smote, The Vaselines, The Bevis Frond and Water Damage, as well as The Hard Quartet who they toured with for 10 dates in June 2025.

A new single is due for release in the summer, with a new album coming out later in

the year.
