SOUND OF THEN, NOW AND WHAT'S TO COME

Ductape is a Turkish Post-Punk duo formed by Çağla Güleray (vocals, synthesizer) and Furkan Güleray (guitar,bass,drums). Emerging in 2019, the band blends melancholic melodies with energetic beats andTurkish/English lyrics full of pathos creating a unique sound influenced by 80's Post-Punk and Darkwave.

Renowned for their emotionally charged performances and hauntingly atmospheric tracks, Ductape quickly gained recognition within the global post-punk and goth scene. Since their debut, they have released four albums and two EPs, steadily building a passionate international following.

Their powerful live shows have taken them to some of the scene’s most prominent festivals, as well as headlining tours. In 2025, the duo launched their ambitious

Echo Drama Tour, spanning 80 shows from Europe to Latin America. Earlier this year, they supported IAMX on a 25-date European tour and joined ShePast Away for performances across Northern Europe. With relentless touring across Europe and Latin America, Ductape has solidified their reputation as a compelling and dynamic live act.

With their growing global fanbase and distinctive artistic vision, Ductape continues to push the boundaries of modern darkwave and post-punk, leaving a lasting mark on the international alternative music community.

SONIC SEDUCER (DE) 2024 JULY/AUGUST issue:

“Blessed with an absolute sense for compelling smash hits. While such associations clearly grasp at scene-hit potential, these top-notch references ultimately underline a distinctive signature, which repeatedly reassembles itself in highly captivating ways through the qualities mentioned at the outset.“

Stephan Wolf

ORKUS MAGAZINE (DE) MAY/JUNE issue:

“ECHO DRAMA - ALBUM OF THE MONTH - MAY”

“The duo's third album is dedicated to a range of feelings and experiences and directs his gaze both inward and outward. "Echo Drama” is predestined for the "Repeat" — taste! “

POSTPUNK.COM - MARCH 2024

“Over the last four years, Istanbul’s Ductape has been meticulously sculpting a ferocious tempest of post-punk dynamism that both agitates, enthralls, and, as their name could possibly suggest, leaves you speechless. There’s a certain audacity in their approach: a deliberate blurring of the lines, where the thrumming, ominous bass and the jagged, electric snarl of guitar riffs permeate the ether – nay, rend it asunder, allowing for a deep, introspective dive into the caverns of the human psyche.“
