Naked in the Marsh/Tout Nu Dans Le Marais (aka NIM Records) was an independent D.I.Y. record label based out of New Brunswick. Initially formed by Sam Leblanc and Pierre Loiselle in 1990, Mike Melanson (singer for Bad Luck #13) joined the group shortly thereafter. NIM releases first came out on cassette and included The Druids: Struggle, Skeleton X: Making the Primal Point, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet: Live at the Kacho, and two NIM cassette compilations of Moncton bands, the second one being all metal bands.

In 1991, they began releasing vinyl. With a print-run of 500, the first was a green vinyl 10" compilation of Moncton bands included Bad Luck #13, Idée du Nord, Syntax Error, Eric's Trip and Purple Knight. The Eric's Trip Belong EP then followed in 1992 and was so successful that a second pressing was made within months. Shortly thereafter, Eric's Trip signed to SubPop.
