Rodent Popsicle is an American record label, founded by Bill Damon, best known as the singer of the band Toxic Narcotic, with the help of his bandmates. Following the D.I.Y. ethic, the purpose of the label is to not pursue profits from the releases, instead, help bands to get heard. The label has released albums by A Global Threat, Fleas and Lice, Darkbuster, Toxic Narcotic, Mouth Sewn Shut, The Profit$, Retching Red, The Restarts, Naked Aggression, Iskra and The Varukers among others, reaching more than 100 records released.
In the beginning, the label was set to release only a few records by Toxic Narcotic, but the label quickly started to grow, releasing the first 7" EP of the Hingham band The Unseen, titled Too Young To Know... Too Reckless To Care in 1994, this would help to get known in the Boston area. Some of the early releases included Food Chain in Your Living Room by August Spies, Populution, New Ways to Create Waste and 2 Oz. Slab of Hate by Toxic Narcotic.
At the end of the 90s the label released the compilations Another Boston Punk Comp. and Boston Punk 2000, supporting local Boston bands, and the Toxic Narcotic split albums with Whorehouse of Representatives, and The Unseen among other albums. Bands like A Poor Excuse, The Profit$, The Statistics, Shoot the Hostages, Razorwire and others released albums with Rodent Popsicle Records at that time.
