Rubber came into existence around the same period as a number of other small independent labels sprouted up in Melbourne in the late eighties. Australia actually has a strong history of independent music making dating back to the late seventies, with labels like Sydney’s Waterfront, Red Eye, Phantom and Citadel as well as Melbourne institutions like Au Go Go and Missing Link and Adelaide imprints such as Greasy Pop and Mr Spaceman.
