TAPES

We are TAPES. Thanks for coming.

In a world full of pandemics, wars, global warming, Scomos, and Soundcloud rappers, there is a beautiful sunbeam that shines through the clouds above Melbourne. This glorious beam of light illuminates the local music scene and warms the hearts of those woke enough to have the pleasure of experiencing it. This sunbeam is affectionately known as ‘Tapes’. 

Tapes emerged onto the Melbourne music scene in early 2018 projecting a widescreen vision of Neo-Soul, R&B, and Contemporary Pop. Their earlier releases ‘Higher’, and ‘9-5’ navigated a myriad of sonic tendencies, boasting infectious grooves and woozy soul. 

As the band have grown, their feel-good sound has grown also. Over the years, Tapes has settled into a well-defined groove. Much like the butt indentation of your dad’s Lazy Boy recliner. This groove is known as…‘Party Soul’.
