Background

Serjical Strike was founded in April 2001 by Serj Tankian (lead singer of System of a Down), and has cast away the restrictions of large scale record labels to create a 'unique and imaginative' label that provides a large spectrum of musical talent. In the previous five years Serj and the team have signed various bands of differing styles; Bad Acid Trip, Kittens for Christian, Slow Motion Reign, and Fair to Midland, and at the same time a good relationship with Columbia records has been built up. Serj also works with Arto Tuncboyaciyan to promote his own side band Serart out of Serjical Strike. The Axis of Justice live album/DVD Concert Series Volume 1 and the Buckethead & Friends' 2005 release "Enter the Chicken" were under the Serjical Strike label. Serj Tankian's debut solo album Elect the Dead was also on Serjical Strike Records in addition to Reprise Records. In August 2007 Serjical Strike started its own [http://www.youtube.com/SerjicalStrikeLabel YouTube account] .
