Adhesive

About

Adhesive was an independent record label active during the early 1980s, operating during a formative period for experimental and underground music. Based on its release catalog, the label demonstrated a commitment to avant-garde and industrial aesthetics, working primarily with vinyl LP and cassette formats. The label's output included releases by artists such as Ledge and E E, with the latter's "The Welders Bible" appearing in cassette format, suggesting the label's willingness to embrace multiple distribution methods alongside traditional vinyl pressing. Though limited documentation exists regarding the label's founding principles and geographic base, the eclectic nature of its roster and the experimental orientation of its releases situate Adhesive within the broader underground music networks of the post-punk and industrial era. The label's four documented releases represent an important if obscure chapter in independent music distribution during the early 1980s.
