Scared Records is pleased to announce that John Stun, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist, is now signed on to record and release his debut album on Scared sometime later in 2008.

John Stun, previously of Teen Wheat, Children's Suffrage Movement, and VieTNam, has been a denizen of duplex left studio for many years, having recorded a 3 song ep with Zod back in 2001 when he was only 17 years old. He's lent his many talents to quite a few of the Scared Records projects of late:

He's appeared with VieTNam on the live release The Concrete's Always Greyer on The Other Side of The Street, on the brand new So A.D.D. album 100 Years of Silence as songwriter and guitarist for one tune and also on the upcoming full length by Greg Connors, Full Moon Flashlight.

John currently plays live with his band DUIdols, and occasionally with Greg Connors & Black Folk (now known as Greg Connors & Hole Block).

So it only seems natural he should release a full length CD in his own right on Scared Records. He has tons of self-recorded 4-track material dating back to his early teen years.

Recording will commence at duplex left in early 2008, with a release date to be determined at a later date, but most likely in Winter 08/09.

Stan Satin and Zod have just completed mastering and sequencing 100 Years of Silence at duplex left.

With additional tracks recorded featuring Atlanta artists Greg Connors, John Stun, Mark Perkins and Marty Matteson, as well as Stan and Zod, So A.D.D.'s eclectic trip-hop folk album is now set for a December 19, 2007 release.

Featuring Seattle chanteuse Jol'e on vocals and multi-instrumentalist Mok Marquardt, and collaborating with artists The Color Green from Israel, Jesse from Florida and Meteor from Belgium, the debut album contains 14 tracks of diverse and haunting art pop. Silence will never be the same again.

Scared Records is proud to announce the latest addition to the Scared Roster of artists: So A.D.D. of Seattle, Washington.

Producer Stan Satin is currently readying her first CD for release entitled "100 Years of Silence" which includes songs you can hear on her MySpace site as well as other new tunes.

More updates will follow as we progress, including release dates and more details of the CD, which features songs written by Jol'e and by mySpace friends Meteor, Greg Connors, and Jesse.

Today is a happy day here at Scared Records, as we announce the release of "Recalibrated" by The Subliminator. The 50 minute, nine track CD captures the indescribable electronic musings of a true Space Poet. "Recalibrated" (Scared SBR 955) marks the first time Scared has teamed up with Stickfigure Records for a split release. Copies are hot off the press (received today [07/22/05]), and will be soon available here on this mySpace site, our official website (http://scaredrecords.com), and The Subliminator's official site (http://thesubliminator.com). If you have a PAYPAL account, the CD is just a click away from being yours.
