CI Records is an independent record label from Lancaster, Pennsylvania owned by Jeremy Weiss. Originally created to distribute the releases of his band, Stand Up, an early 1990s melodic hardcore band, CI expanded releases from bands such as Submachine, Vision, Violent Society, Serpico, and Muddfoot.
The label hit its stride in the early 2000s, establishing itself by releasing records from former Gameface singer Jeff Caudill, Sense Field, The Juliana Theory and Jonah Matranga's (of Far, New End Original, Gratitude, and Onelinedrawing).
Most recently, CI has been the home of bands such as The Pink Spiders, Once Nothing, Sadaharu, Fire Deuce (The side-project of Coheed and Cambria's Travis Stever), Albert React and Movies With Heroes.
The label owes it name to a punk rock band once played in founder Jeremy Weiss, called Corrupted Image, from which the initials were used.
