About
Rubbish Recordings is an underground independent record label that operated primarily during the early 1990s, releasing experimental and industrial music on cassette format. Based on available documentation, the label issued at least three releases between 1990 and 1992, establishing itself within the DIY and tape-based music community of that era. The label's output demonstrates a commitment to unconventional and provocative material, as evidenced by release titles such as "Rare and Brutal 1986-90" and "Lust is the Root of All Evil." The exclusive use of cassette as the primary distribution medium reflects the label's alignment with underground tape culture and the accessibility that cassettes provided to independent labels during this period. While detailed information regarding the label's founding, specific artist roster, and geographic location remains limited in archival records, Rubbish Recordings represents an important artifact of the independent experimental music scene of the early 1990s. The label's catalog suggests engagement with harsh, industrial, and experimental aesthetics that characterized much of the underground music community during this era.
