What is Tape Lab?

And Why Do We Have to Keep Explaining This?!

Here we go again: Tape Lab is a band. Tape Lab is a collective. Tape Lab is a world leader in tape-based music production.

Tape Lab is NOT, we repeat, NOT a manufacturer of laboratory tape. If you're here looking for some kind of adhesive strip to label your vials, you’re in the wrong place.

So What is Tape Lab, Really?

Tape Lab is a music and art collective that has been pushing boundaries since 2017. We make music. We make music videos. We make visual art. We experiment. We collaborate. We build sonic worlds that feel analog, raw, and alive—because we actually use tape (sometimes).

Not just as a gimmick, not as an aesthetic choice, but as a foundational part of our sound. Tape is the medium. Tape is the message. Tape is everything.

But I Googled “Tape Lab” and Found Something Else?

Yeah. We know. Every day, some lost scientist stumbles into our domain expecting to find color-coded rolls of labeling tape. And every day, we have to remind people that Tape Lab doesn’t sell office supplies. We craft underground music. We build soundscapes. We create visuals that warp perception.

Still confused?

Yes, we are Tape Lab, the creative powerhouse making music and art.
No, we do not sell tape for laboratories, science projects, or office organization.

Why Tape?

Because tape has soul. Digital recording is too clean, too clinical (ironic, since we keep getting mistaken for a lab supply company). Tape captures imperfection. It adds warmth, depth, and unpredictability. It forces commitment. No undo buttons, no sterile perfection—just raw, real sound.

How Can You Experience Tape Lab?

  • Listen to our music. You like weird, experimental, analog-driven soundscapes? You’re in the right place.

  • Watch our music videos. We make visuals that feel as textured and unpredictable as our music.

  • Follow us. If you appreciate underground creativity that refuses to be boxed in, you’ll want to stick around.

One Last Time…

Tape Lab is not a tape company. Tape Lab is a band, a collective, a movement. If you want music, art, and sonic experimentation, welcome. If you’re looking for sticky rolls of labeling tape, there’s probably a different website for you.

Stop asking us where to buy lab tape. We MAKE Tapes.

TapeLab

Welcome to #TapeLab—stay a while and listen. Founded in 2017 by lifelong friends, Tape Lab is a collective of artists and a hub for innovation, always open to collaboration. With the zeal of a self-published memoir, our sound is our own, but you can be the decider. We make music and art that sounds like it was fun to make and stands out in a sea of bland beats.

As independent artists, we are always exploring new ways to expand our audience and find new creative outlets—especially with other undiscovered artists!

#TapeLab is currently based out of two headquarters in Durham, NC, and The Hamptons, NY.
