Chemikal Underground

|
Chemikal Underground is the independent record label set up in 1994 by Glasgow rock band The Delgados. It was set up to release their first single, Monica Webster / Brand New Car and went on to break most of the important Scottish bands of the nineties.
When the second CU single by popsters Bis, The Secret Vampire Soundtrack EP was hugely successful, earning them a slot on Top of the Pops, the label was able to expand. Further success followed in the shape of the debut albums by Mogwai and Arab Strap. Other bands on the Chemikal Underground roster include Magoo, Aereogramme, Cha Cha Cohen, Sluts of Trust, Suckle, the Radar Brothers and more recently Mother and the Addicts, as well as Arab Strap member Malcolm Middleton's solo work.
