Pure power, a fierce honesty, and the kind of chemistry between band members that few artists will ever be fortunate enough to find: Enter 7 Year Bitch.

C/Z first took notice of this band after they released their first single, "Lorna." Melody Maker described 7 Year Bitch as, "a righteous explosion of rage and vitriol." From there, things began to fall into the bands lap, slowly building a momentum which seemed almost unstoppable.

Pearl Jam asked 7 Year Bitch to take their place opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers on three Northwest dates almost immediately after they signed to C/Z in 1992.

C/Z re-released the Lorna 7" and the band headlined a packed show at Wetlands during the New Music Seminar that June. Everything seemed too good to be true. They began recording their first full-length, but due to the untimely death of guitarist Stephanie Sargent, the release of their debut record, Sick 'Em, was delayed until October of that year.
