Strung Out Records

Strung Out Records is a small independent record label based in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States. It is best known as the self-operated imprint of Discipline, an independent progressive rock band from Detroit that has performed and recorded together for more than 25 years. The label serves as the release vehicle for Discipline's own catalog as well as solo work by the band's lead figure, Matthew Parmenter. Because Strung Out Records is run by and for the band, its output is tightly focused rather than a broad roster of signed artists. Its catalog includes Discipline studio albums such as Captives of the Wine Dark Sea and Breadcrumbs, reissues and remixes such as the 25th-anniversary edition of Chaos Out of Order and the Terry Brown remix of Unfolded Like Staircase, live releases including Live: Into the Dream and the Live 1995 DVD, and Matthew Parmenter solo albums such as All Our Yesterdays, Astray and Horror Express. The label's identity is closely tied to the do-it-yourself ethos of independent progressive rock. Discipline describe themselves as an independent rock band from Detroit and note that they have recorded together for over 25 years on their indie label, Strung Out Records. The label's website doubles as the band's home base, carrying news, discography and merchandise such as the album Breadcrumbs. Strung Out Records operates in the niche market of progressive rock, sometimes tagged by the band with hashtags such as #motown, #prog and #moprog. Its audience is built through mailing lists, live performances and specialist prog scenes rather than through major-label distribution. The band has appeared internationally, including in France, and continues to work on new studio material released through the label.
