Scared Records is an independent American record label established in Atlanta in 1999 by Stan Satin, a musician previously involved with local groups Vietnam and The Method Actors. The label's title cleverly references the now-defunct 1940s–1950s religious label Sacred Records, serving as a platform to revive Atlanta's nearly forgotten punk-era acts such as The Restraints and Vietnam.
Originating from Satin's earlier imprint Spherecords—which issued his ambient electronic solo project SonoVoX along with material by singer-songwriter Greg Connors—Scared Records debuted officially with 315’s self-titled album (STF 0315). This release was a limited pressing of 200 copies, paying tribute to the late local artist known as 315.
Following this, the label issued a "lost" studio recording by Atlanta’s trailblazing punk group The Restraints under its sub-label Scarred Records (SCR 8001), continuing to feature Scared’s distinctive laughing skull emblem. After a quarter-century, Scared Records unveiled Vietnam’s first full-length album Past Away (SRV 1213), which consists of newly recorded versions of their original early-1980s art-punk compositions.
