Wicked Sick Records

Wicked Sick Records (WSR) is a record label started by Seth Putnam in 1988. It was first started when Seth made the 47 Song Demo with his band Anal [...]. Never imagining that Anal [...] would ever actually have a legitimate release, he merely made the demo tape to have something to sell on tour - and hence labeled it Wicked Sick Records #0001. When (to Putnam's surprise) Anal [...] did actually officially record the 88 Song EP, he labeled it as Wicked Sick Records #1.

Followed by WSR releases #2-5 (along with one other on another short-lived sister label, Stridecore Records #1), the label's efforts were temporarily sheleved while Putnam explored opportunities with other more established labels of the time, unfortunately none of whom (to Putnam's dismay) ultimately did a very good job of promoting the band.

In 2007, Wicked Sick Records was reintroduced as the official record label for several of Putnam's bands, including AxCx, FULL BLOWN A.I.D.S., and Impaled Northern Moonforest, and will soon release several other releases from sister projects including [...] SCUM, George H. Brown, Satan's Warriors, and a long-awaited compliation, The Worst of Seth Putnam - featuring a vast catalog comprised exclusively of previously unreleased material dating back to pre-AxCx years through current side projects/one-off releases.

Wicked Sick Records ([www.wickedsickrecords.com]) is now the official central repository for ALL of Putnam's current projects - all of whom are being officially managed by the label (some with the help of cousin labels, Menace to Sobriety and Limited Appeal).

The WSR site includes current band-related news, merchandise sales, upcoming tour dates, and assorted pics and videos (capturing both past and current line-ups and performances). The briefly disabled www.sethputnam.com is ACTIVE once again, but directs automatically to the WSR site. WSR plans to make most of the information previously available on [www.sethputnam.com] available once again under WSR's "Putnam's Pages."

Wicked Sick Records also offers professional services to other bands such as:
-Studio production; recording, mixing, and mastering records/CDs - Specializing in Putnam's trademark raw, unpolished sound (in other words the way this music should be...without any lame computer effects, etc.)
-Management
-Distribution
-Session work & guest appearance (subject to discretion and availability)
-Customized lessons (guitar, bass, drums, and vocals)
-Album/cover art and affordable website design
-General consultation - particularly for bands desiring assistance capturing the "perfect" sound.
To that end, Putnam stresses that he is offering up his 20+ years experience in the underground music industry to help your band present and promot itself without losing your unique style, and to help you find the "perfect" sound for YOUR band (i.e., not simply make your band sound like any of HIS).
