Dragged Up

**Dragged Up** brings Glasgow’s gritty post-punk energy to life with a no-nonsense mix of noise-rock abrasion and electronic experimentation. Formed in 2021 by vocalist Kirsty Allison and guitarist Neil McDonald—both veterans of Glasgow’s DIY scene—the duo channels chaotic live energy into tracks like *Hex Domestic* and *High On Ripple*, blending snarling vocals, distorted riffs, and industrial textures. Their 2022 *Hex Domestic* EP (released via Cool Thing Records) solidified their rep for raw, confrontational soundscapes that nod to influences like The Fall and The Birthday Party.

Known for their unpolished intensity and darkly witty lyricism, Dragged Up’s releases—including the clanging rhythms of *Clachan Dubh* and the frenetic *Blake's Tape (Radio Edit)*—feel like a sonic punch to the gut. Whether thrashing through live sets or crafting lo-fi anthems, they embody Scotland’s underground spirit without apologies.
