The first issue of Unsound was published in September, 1983. It came about as a reaction against separatism, in which 'a select few become the only creative sources that are recognized.' Unsound is focused onto the harder edge of experimental art and music -- the edge that most consider subversive.

Artists/groups covered in the past have been Nagativland, Barrett Watten, Glenn Branca, Ellen Zweig, Einstruzende Neubauten, Karen Finley, Boyd Rice (NON), Minimal Man, Sonic Youth, Whitehouse, Psychic TV, and Leslie Thornton.

All cover art is done by different visual artists, some being Jo Babcock, Allan Winkler and Didier Cremieux.

Also, Unsound is a networking tool where information is listed and exchanged -- areas include radio, publications, distribution, mail art, extensive tape and record reviews, and other assorted network and contacts.
