Welcome...
Swampland has been releasing music and writing on the fringes of the underground since 2001. Initially, a hardcore punk/industrial noise label specializing in cassettes and vinyl (releasing artists such as Hive Mind, LHD, The Rita, Treriksröset, Moth Drakula and surpriseyrdead). As well as publishing art and photography zines.
Swampland Noise shifted to Swampland Press in the early 2010’s focusing its efforts on writings of romantic nihilism, the macabre, weird and strange.
Swampland Press operates as an independent/DIY publishing house; sharing the same ideology and spirit of labels formed in the underground hardcore punk scene (Touch and Go, SST, 31G and Ebullition Records).
