About
Bite The Wax Tadpole is an obscure industrial and experimental noise project that emerged during the late 1980s underground cassette culture. Operating primarily through Sound of Pig Music, the project released three cassette recordings between 1988 and an undated later period: Between Me & You & The Lamprey (1988), O.D. on Bourgeaoisie Boy Milk (1990), and In Mute Nostril. The group's aesthetic aligned with the broader noise and power electronics movements of the era, characterized by abrasive textures and provocative conceptual frameworks evident in their deliberately absurdist and confrontational titles. Their work represents the DIY ethos of underground experimental music during the cassette era, operating within marginal distribution networks and contributing to the broader landscape of industrial and noise music outside mainstream visibility. Limited discographic information suggests the project maintained a deliberately obscure profile, typical of many noise and experimental acts of the period.
