The first release on the Scared Label (STF 0315) was an album by 315, whose limited 200-copy pressing of the self-titled ''315'' was a memorial to the local oddball artist, known as 315, who had contracted cancer and died in 2004. The next release (SCR 8001) was labeled "Scarred" (with two "r's"), to commemorate the first release of a "lost" studio recording by Atlanta's first punk rock band, The Restraints, although the logo still incorporated the infamous laughing skull of Scared. Twenty-five years in the making, '' Past Away'' (SRV 1213), the debut album by art-punk band Vietnam, was next to be released, featuring new recordings of original songs the band had composed in 1980–81.
