Harsh noise band Haters was founded by GX Jupitter-Larsen in New York in 1979. Haters has continued to record and occasionally perform into the next millennium, celebrating their 20th anniversary with a rare live performance in San Francisco. The band has collaborated with several artists, including Scanner, for a 1999 release on Vinyl Communications. In addition to both LP and CD releases on Vinyl Communications, Haters has numerous releases on various other labels, including RRRecords, Syntactic, and Banned.
