Tapeworm Tapes

About

Tapeworm Tapes was an underground record label active during the late 1980s and early 1990s, operating during a formative period for independent and experimental music distribution. The label's output, consisting entirely of cassette releases, reflects the DIY ethos characteristic of the era's independent music scene. Between 1988 and 1990, Tapeworm Tapes released five titles, including works with unconventional and humorous titles such as "You Fat Git," "Well," "Eh?," "Werewolf Poo," and "Glojjunipidnops." These cassette releases suggest the label's engagement with experimental and avant-garde music communities, where tape formats remained a preferred medium for distribution among independent artists and audiences. The label's catalog indicates a commitment to releasing work outside mainstream commercial channels, contributing to the broader underground and experimental music infrastructure that flourished during this period. While detailed information about specific artists and geographic origins remains limited, Tapeworm Tapes' output demonstrates the vitality of independent music production and distribution in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
