TAGABOW

TAGABOW aka (They Are Gutting a Body of Water) is a Philadelphia-based band founded in 2016 as a solo project by lead singer Douglas Dulgarian. With the additions of bassist Emily Lofing, guitarist PJ Carroll, and drummer Ben Opatut, the band has evolved their sound by blending elements of shoegaze, noise, hardcore, and drum and bass. To many, myself included, they’re the leaders of this new wave of Shoegaze and stand high above the watered down Tiktokification of the genre. Put more simply, they’re the real deal. Douglas recently teamed up with Jack Chaffer of Full Body to form a new project called ECHOTRACER and last year they released a breakbeat EP titled FUCKING22STEP that you can find on Youtube. The band told us that they have a collab EP dropping with “a few of our closest friends,” and you can listen to it’s lead single “krillin” now. Be sure to catch them on tour with former PI guest DIIV, among others. Lucky for us, the band is here to tell us what they’ve been into.
