Rubber City Noise is an art collective & record label founded in 2010 in Akron, Ohio by Karl Vorndran, Curt Brown, Joshua Maxon Novak, J. Bryan Parks & Ram Youssefi
We ran the Rubber City Noise Center for Audio Visual Exploration (RCNCAVE) in Downtown Akron from 2010 to 2014 & hosted/participated in a ton of amazing events. The RCNCAVE returned in 2022 as the CAVE Akron and is now a larger collective DIY headquarters for live & streaming events in Akron, Ohio. Follow the CAVE on Instagram & Facebook.
We release albums & multimedia projects on various analog & digital formats through the Rubber City Noise record label.
