Acid Rain Products

About

Acid Rain Products was an underground record label active during the early-to-mid 1980s, operating primarily through cassette releases. The label documented experimental and industrial music during a formative period of the underground music scene, releasing five titles between 1983 and 1985. All known releases were issued on cassette format, reflecting the DIY aesthetic and accessibility that characterized independent labels of the era. The label's output suggests an affinity for avant-garde and noise-oriented material, with release titles indicating conceptual or thematic approaches to composition. Notable titles include Everything... We Never Wanted (1983) and The Time Is Nigh..The Hags Are Coming (1985), which demonstrate the label's engagement with experimental music culture. While specific geographic location and founding details remain obscure, Acid Rain Products contributed to the broader cassette-based underground music infrastructure that predated widespread digital distribution. The label's significance lies in its documentation of early 1980s experimental music practice and the independent ethos of small-scale underground operations.
