Sometimes the business of releasing
music and helping underground bands has its ups and downs. It comes
with the territory and at the end of the day we all try and do our
best, ya know? But today is one of those days that make it all worth
it. No shit. Red Scare Industries is proud to announce that as of
today we are bringing you the entire catalog of Seattle's favorite
pop-punkers: Sicko!
Some of you youngsters may be not be
familiar with them, so let me bring you up to speed. Punk rock in
the 90's was pretty much dominated by the So-Cal sound. You know,
the aggressive skate-punk stuff. But there was a small group of
bands like Mr. T Experience, Jawbreaker, and J Church that were doing
something a little different and more insightful with their punk
rock. Sicko is one of those bands, and they were a HUGE favorite of
mine as they were from my home state of Washington.
People were paying insane amounts of
money for their outta print CDs, so we figured we'd do our part and
bring you their entire catalog via the wonders of digital distro. I
highly recommend you check out these records, Sicko was a super
catchy, super fun band and I will always remember them fondly. In a
strange coincidence, today is my birthday, and I can't think of a
better gift to myself and to the rest of the punk community than to
bring some of this music back into the light. All four full lengths:
“You Can Feel The Love In This Room”, “Laugh While You Can
Monkey Boy”, “Chef Boy-R-U-Dum”, and “You Are Not The Boss Of
Me!”.
In another strange twist, MySpace
refuses to allow Red Scare or the band to post any of their songs at
present! We're working on getting some of their music up for you to
sample, but who knew that Sicko was a threat to Rupert Murdoch? All
the more reason to love these guys. We'll have some music up soon,
but for now I suggest you head over to iTunes or Amazon and check out
some Sicko.
