About
Klinker Zoundz is an underground record label that emerged during the late 1980s industrial and experimental music boom. The label demonstrated a commitment to diverse sonic territories within the experimental and industrial genres, releasing work across multiple formats including vinyl LPs and cassettes. The label's output from 1988 showcases an eclectic roster exploring avant-garde guitar-based music, electronic experimentation, and unconventional sound design. Notable releases from the label's catalog include "My Guitar Is A Virgin," "Green Computer," "Great Noises That Fill The Air," and "Aberration," all issued in 1988. The label also maintained engagement with the underground music community through associated publications such as the Klinker Zounds Release-Overview magazine, reflecting the DIY ethos characteristic of the period's independent music scene. Though limited documentation of the label's geographic base and founding details exists in archival records, Klinker Zoundz's format flexibility and experimental orientation positioned it within the broader underground music infrastructure of the 1980s, supporting artists working at the intersection of industrial, noise, and experimental music aesthetics.
