History

In early 1990, former Maximum Rock and Roll columnist Kent McClard started Ebullition Records with contributions from Sonia Skindrud (writer of Exedra 'zine) and Brent Stephens (member of Downcast). Skindrud came up with the name, and Stephens drew the logo, however the label is primarily run by McClard.

Inside Out was meant to record an LP as the first Ebullition release. However, Revelation Records asked them to release a 7" instead, and the band chose the more established label. The record wasn't released for another year, after the band had broken up and reformed as Rage Against The Machine

Incidentally, Inside Out did plan to do a second record called Rage Against the Machine, which was a phrase Kent coined in some writings he did for the 'zine No Answers #9. They never managed to finish this second release and singer Zack de La Rocha ended up using the phrase for the title of his next band. A photo of Thích Quảng Ðức, a Buddhist monk who burnt himself to death as a protest against Vietnamese Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diems administrations practices against the Buddhist religion, features on the cover of the first Rage Against the Machine album. ...

Finally, Ebullition's first release came out in late 1990. Kent had been doing No Answers 'zine since 1983 and the ninth issue came with the Downcast 7" (Ebullition #1). Ebullition released 3,000 copies of No Answers #9 with the Downcast 7" and after those were sold the 'zine and 7" became separate products.
