About
It's War Boys was an independent record label active during the early 1980s, operating primarily as a cassette-based imprint with limited vinyl releases. The label emerged during a period of significant experimental and underground music activity, releasing material between 1981 and 1983. Its catalog demonstrates a commitment to avant-garde and unconventional sonic practices, with releases characterized by abstract and often provocative titles that suggest conceptual or performance-based approaches to composition. The label's output spans roughly eight documented releases, predominantly issued on cassette format, with at least one notable vinyl release, "Triptych Of Poisoners" (1983). The roster included artists pursuing experimental directions across various underground music aesthetics. It's War Boys operated within the broader independent music ecosystem of the early 1980s, contributing to the documentation and dissemination of challenging, non-commercial work during an era when cassettes served as a primary medium for underground and DIY music distribution. The label's aesthetic and output suggest alignment with experimental, industrial, and avant-garde music communities of its era.
