From the album 'High On Ripple' released 05/04/24 by Dragged Up (Glasgow, UK)

"From the heady tension and release of opener Bible Study through to Third Level’s breathtaking psychedelic explosion, there is a kaleidoscopic, all-consuming energy at play that renders any talk of genre or reference points fantastically obsolete.

Whilst tracks like Missing Person and Young Person’s Guide To Going Backwards In The World prove the group’s propensity for an ear-worm hook, they are always but a heartbeat away from unexpected, uncharted territory. It’s an anything goes ethos that is relentlessly captivating.

As ever, Dragged Up have boldly followed their creative instincts, free of expectation or outside influence. Songs within songs, moments within moments, forever on the brink of their next minor sonic miracle."

'Hex Domestic' released 2023 on Cruel Nature Records:

"their sound continues to explore echoes of the Anorak/ C86 scene, mixing slacker girl group vibes with garage pop essentials. And Dragged Up are experts at the form." - Byron Coley, The Wire

"like The Fall circa 83, jangling guitars nearly in tune, merged with Sonic Youth. It’s slackedrist, it’s proto-grunge, it’s indie with edge"
- Christopher Nosnibor, Aural Aggravation
