Stretch Arm Strong is a hardcore punk band from Chapin South Carolina, and the flagship band for We Put Out Records. They have been active since 1992. Several of the band members are outspoken Christians, but they prefer not to be classified as a Christian band in some cases. They do prefer to be known as Christian with influences, but not as a band that "preaches".[citation needed] After their freshman release on Uprising Records, Compassion Fills the Void, they released three albums for Solid State Records in 1999, 2001, and 2003 respectively. In addition, they have done several U.S. tours and several European tours. Stretch Arm Strong are signed to We Put Out Records, a label on East West (a branch of the Warner Music Group), having fulfilled their deal with Solid State. Their most recent LP, Free at Last, was recorded in April and May 2005 with James Paul Wisner (producer of albums by Further Seems Forever and Underoath) and released in fall of the same year. They have mostly been inactive since 2005. They are playing 2 shows in January 2010 and it seems they will stay mainly inactive after that. According to their Myspace they stated "While we appreciate all of the kind comments and excitement, we dont plan on doing anymore shows or tours. I never want to make anything too final, but as far as we are concerned this will be it for a long time. We want to make it special and fun. Please come join us." youtube/watch?v=dHDjGapg6h4
