D/U by Dragged Up
********************************************************
"D/U is a throwback to Bevis and Butthead era-MTV - an all-seeing, culture-cannibalizing slacker classic, collapsing the distinction between high and low art like a toddler-Tchaikovsky twatting a xylophone” - Record Collector Mag
“Musically your given snippets of foot holds, only to find yourself slipping down the mud wall, lifted again by beautifully light updrafts of melody, then once again weighed down by heavy riffs and scratchy non sensical guitar thrashing” - The Punk Site
"A great dose of garage trash that should sit alongside other bands on the Voodoo Rhythm roster. There’s a just about restrained chaos that builds from within and surfaces in waves. Like classic CBGBs proto-punk transplanted to rain-drenched Scottish streets. " - Louder Than War
"Cool, expansive, nerve-wracking" - Top 25 Albums of 2020 - Reverb is for Lovers
Best EPs of 2020 - Postcards from the Underground
Album of the Week - Nov 2020 - Kool Strings

"Glasgow art-punks riding a relentless wave of restless creativity and blessed with a punishing knack for chaos and groove"
- Heavy Metal Kids
'Maybe your new favourite Velvets / Black Sabbath / Crass inspired group, ok? Another one of those groups you think you’ve got the gist on before they turn on a dime & dive into a different pool of sound'
