Snarling vocals over feral guitar riffs, backed by pounding drums and bass – Scottish garage punk three-piece Casual Drag have earned a reputation as a must-see live band through a series of packed and frenetic shows across the UK.

Their debut EP ‘Revolution Will Eat Itself’ landed in 2023 and immediately gained wider attention. It’s a body of work that encapsulates their raucous live shows. There is a drive and energy embedded within their music, raw and edgy with twisted riffs and crashing drums.

Singles 'Bleach Head' and 'Something Good' were championed by BBC Introducing, BBC6 Music and Amazing Radio.

Their standout brand of clattering garage-rock has led to support slots with Joe Talbot of IDLES, Lice, Flat Worms, Hotel Lux and Press Club.

Following the release of their EP and a series of singles, the trio are working on their debut album. New music and UK dates to follow in Autumn 2025.
