Negativland is an American experimental music band formed in Concord, California, in 1979. The core of the band consists of Mark Hosler, David "the Weatherman" Wills, Peter Conheim, and Jon "Wobbly" Leidecker. Negativland has released a number of albums ranging from pure sound collage to more musical expositions. These have mostly been released on their own label, Seeland Records. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, they produced several recordings for SST Records, most notably Escape from Noise, Helter Stupid, and U2. The band was sued by U2's record label, Island Records, over U2, which brought them widespread publicity and notoriety. The band, along with the Church of the SubGenius, were among those given a free website by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1994. Negativland coined the term "culture jamming" in 1984. The band took their name from a song by the German krautrock band Neu! from their self-titled debut album, with their record label Seeland Records being named after a track from the band's Neu! '75.
