Carbon Records

Carbon Records is a small indie label located in Rochester, New York. Joe Tunis started Carbon back in 1994 to release his own Joe+4=Poopie cassette, and the label has since released material by a number of independent artists from upstate New York. Carbon's catalog ranges from drone experiments to indie pop to math rock.

Hilkka
Full on Slintcore! This upstate New York post-punk trio has mastered the art of creating dark, spidery, guitar-based compositions that oscillate perfectly between pop melodicism and crushing power.

Escalation/Objective - 2000


Muler
This Rochester, New York indie rock quartet creates a messy tuneful roar that spills all over you and leaves you no choice but to forget what you're doing and get on to the more important business of having fun.

Motelbibleschool - 1999


SQ
SQ's damaged experimental dronology suggests a trip through the circles of Dante's inferno. With samplers and reverb units, the duo creates the sound of inhuman voices calling out to you, muted acts of torture, and the earth slowly collapsing upon itself.

Monosite - 1999
