In a world where genres are increasingly becoming blurred, Ductape stands tall, unapologetically crafting a sound that challenges, captivates, and resonates. They are the sound of post-punk's beating heart, the echo of darkwave's melodic discourse, and the voice of gothic introspective narratives. Ductape is the sound of then, now, and what's to come. With deep, brooding bass lines that interweave with unruly guitar riffs and pathos-laden lyrics, Ductape's sound embodies the essence of post-punk — the raw energy, the rebellious spirit, and the unyielding desire to experiment. Simultaneously nostalgic and future-forward, their music commands the listener's attention from the first note to the last.
United by their shared passion for sonic exploration, the members of Ductape - Çagla & Furkan form a tight-knit unit that thrives on creative synergy. From the commanding vocals that convey raw emotion, to the intricate guitar work that weaves intricate webs of sound, the pulsating
basslines that anchor their sonic assault, and the relentless drums that drive the rhythm forward, each element intertwines to create their distinctive sonic tapestry.
