About
Roughage is an underground noise and experimental music project active during the 1990s. Operating within the broader industrial and noise music underground, the project released material across multiple formats including cassette and vinyl, demonstrating the DIY ethos characteristic of the era's experimental music scenes. Their discography includes Travel The Globe (1992) on the G.R.O.S.S. label, the self-titled LP Roughage 5 (1995), a VHS release titled SAME, and Shitsure 1 on Vanilla Records, all documented in various archival collections. The project's output across cassette, vinyl, and video formats reflects the multimedia approach common to industrial and noise practitioners of the period. While detailed information about specific musical characteristics and personnel remains limited in available documentation, Roughage's presence on underground labels and distribution networks indicates engagement with the experimental music underground of early-to-mid 1990s Europe and beyond. The project represents the prolific, format-diverse output typical of the noise and industrial music underground during this era.
