King Tuff is a lo-fi / garage rock musician from the USA. He has been releasing material on Sub Pop and Burger Records since 2006. In addition to his solo work, King Tuff also played in Ty Segall's backing band "The Muggers", which was formed following the release of their album Emotional Mugger.

With his raw and energetic sound, King Tuff has gained a loyal following among fans of artists like Dead Ghosts, Jacuzzi Boys, Ty Segall, and Bass Drum of Death. His music is often characterized by its catchy hooks and gritty guitar riffs.

Whether he's performing as a solo artist or with The Muggers, King Tuff delivers electrifying live shows that leave audiences wanting more. If you're a fan of lo-fi garage rock, be sure to check out King Tuff's impressive discography.

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)

King Tuff's new record is called 'Black Moon Spell'. It was produced and recorded by Bobby Harlow at Studio B in Los Angeles, California, in the hot winter of 2014. No one involved was prepared to make a record, but an invisible hand pushed them to do it. Perhaps it was God or that special someone we all know and love called The Devil. God and The Devil actually have very similar interests. They both love electric guitars and they both want you to listen to 'Black Moon Spell' and freak the fuck out.
