Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

Last night, musician Suki Waterhouse announced the release of Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, her new 18-track double album due out worldwide on Sub Pop on Friday, September 13, 2024.  Suki has also unveiled "Supersad," the lead single that shoots straight out of the gate with fast-paced drum fills and garage guitars. "I tried to write a nineties song that you could hear at the mall in Clueless or as the opening track for Legally Blonde," she smiles. The single was produced by Brad Cook and the album's executive producer, Eli Hirsch, and written by Suki along with Chelsea Balan, John Mark Nelson and Lilian Caputo. The official video for "Supersad" has been released, in which Suki plays a bedridden protagonist and her game show fairy.

Suki's music sounds like a collage of her inspirations, experiences and emotions, which she weaves together with her honeyed voice, upbeat melodies and energizing storytelling. She is a reflection of her life as an accomplished creative, artist, actress, model and mother, but she also shatters the glass to reveal the raw truth. She relies on an ever-changing sonic palette to convey her feelings - whether it's folky Americana, nineties alternative, turn-of-the-century indie or handmade, otherworldly pop. You can hear Suki's longing in a rapturous chorus, her fearlessness in a crisp chord, her elation in a danceable waltz and her wonder in a gentle gurr that fits a lullaby.

On "Memoir of a Sparklemuffin", the platinum-selling singer now presents herself as a versatile, lively and vital personality. Suki brought this work to life with executive producer Hirsch as well as Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, Beyonce), Brad Cook (Bon Iver, War on Drugs, Snail Mail), Greg Gonzalez (Cigarettes After Sex), Rick Nowels (James Blake, Lana del Rey) and Natalie Findlay and Jules Apollinaire of the band Ttrruuces (with whom she wrote "Good Looking" and "OMG"). She loosely ties these 18 tracks to a transformative central concept represented by the Sparklemuffin spider. "I came up with the Sparklemuffin spider - it's wildly colored, does this lightning dance, and its partner cannibalizes it if she doesn't agree with the dance. It's a metaphor for the dance of life that we're all in. The title struck me as hilarious, ridiculous and wonderful."

She has remained true to her lifelong passion for music and released her debut album "I Can't Let Go" in 2022. Featuring the tracks "Moves" and "Melrose Meltdown", it was highly praised by Variety, Nylon, NME, The Line of Best Fit and many others. Between headlining shows and touring with Father John Misty, her hit "Good Looking" was streamed nearly a billion times online, went RIAA platinum and paved the way for the "Milk Teeth" EP. At the same time, she was inspired by a period of change marked by unforgettable moments: she graced the stage at Lollapalooza 2023, performed on several continents, became a mother and closed the Gobi Tent at Coachella 2024.
