Sick 'Em is the debut compilation album by Seattle punk rock band 7 Year Bitch.[8][9][10] It was released in October 1992 on the local C/Z Records label and collected all of the band's previous releases up to that point.[3] The album was originally slated for an earlier release date but was delayed following the death of guitarist Stefanie Sargent in June 1992.
Critical reception
