Peace & Freedom
Underground experimental cassette project from 1980s UK tape culture scene.
About
Peace & Freedom was an underground experimental project active during the mid-to-late 1980s, operating primarily within the UK tape culture and DIY music scenes. The project released material on cassette format, a medium favored by experimental and industrial artists of the era. Their discography includes the live recording "Live in Cowling and Skripton April 86" (1986), followed by two studio cassettes released in 1988: "Life" and "Carry on Taping." The project's aesthetic and output reflect the broader experimental and noise music movements of the 1980s, characterized by the accessibility and distribution advantages of cassette-based self-release. Like many acts in the underground tape scene of this period, Peace & Freedom contributed to the decentralized network of experimental musicians who operated outside mainstream industry structures, using affordable cassette technology to document and distribute their work directly to listeners and collectors interested in avant-garde and experimental sound.
