Drag Talk Bio:
LA band Drag Talk features vocalist Jutty Taylor, guitarists Ross O’Carroll, Matt Ripp Bennett and Neil Popkin, and drummer Hayden Scott.
Drag Talk is a coming-together of like-minded friends with long, intertwined histories. O’Carroll, Taylor, and Scott were former bandmates, while the latter pair also played together in Grammy-winning Swedish rock band Ghost. Popkin also played alongside Ripp Bennett in War Tapes.
Harnessing ‘90s indie nostalgia to here-and-now emotional responses, Drag Talk’s lush atmospherics, spacious beats, and hugely emotive hooks create something singular yet accessible and authentic. The band finds gauzy beauty in the fathomless chaos that surrounds us, their exquisite shoegaze guitars and Britpop melodicism skewed with Taylor’s genre-fluid vocals.
Drag Talk has conjured a sonic and emotional niche just when none seemed left to discover.
