However, this wasn't all 4AD had to offer, as was highlighted by its famous 1987 sampler compilation ''Lonely Is An Eyesore''. The label soon expanded into American AlternativeRock, signing Music/ThePixies, Music/TheBreeders and Music/ThrowingMuses, among others, and establishing a UsefulNotes/LosAngeles office in TheNineties, from where a lot of the {{Slowcore}} bands that drove the label that decade operated.

The label was started by two former Beggars Banquet employees, Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent. It was initially named Axis Records, but after it was discovered that an Axis label already existed, it was renamed to 4AD, based on a promotional flyer where "1980 FORWARD" was gradually abbreviated to "4AD". In 1981, Kent left to start the Situation Two label and sold his share of the company to Watts-Russell, leaving him sole owner and president.
