Panic Records (7)

Profile

Panic records started in 1996 as a subsidiary of Helter Skelter records and distribution. It was mainly ran by Dario "Adam" Adamic of Zips & Chains fanzine and Goodwill records and Bruno Brin, the drummer of long defunct Punk Rock band Brat from Naples. The first release was the compilation "No Time To Panic" (LP+7"/CD) that featured bands like NOFX, Rhythm Collision, Overflow, This Side Up, Gigantor, Squirtgun, Bambix,... and sold over 5,000 copies. Over the following 3 years the label released 13 releases, mostly featuring Punk Rock bands like Discount, J Church, Manges, Boyz Nex' Door, Pea Wees, Mullens,... The label usually pressed about 500 copies of each release, except for the two compilations (the forementioned No Time To Panic! and the follower Panic Now!) that were pressed in several thousands each. The label dissolved a couple of years before Helter Skelter went under. When Helter Skelter went bust, Adam continued with his label Goodwill records and Bruno joined a newborn distributor called Goodfellas.
