About

CI  Records

Established in 1987, CI Records has been influencing the music industry for over 30 years. Being the launchpad of multiple Billboard 200 charting bands, the home base of the LAUNCH Music Conference, and leading the punk and metal movement in Lancaster, PA have created the reputation of quality that CI Records strives for with each endeavor. CI Records offers multiple services for artists that can help to launch their career.

THE CI-STORY

CI Records was started by Jeremy Weiss in 1987 as a vehicle to release his own music and music by bands he was passionate about. Over time the label has released over 100 offerings from the diverse spectrum of "independent music", growing from a hobby into a full-time effort.
CI Records has worked with veterans such as The Juliana Theory, onelinedrawing, and Sense Field, as well as having helped launch the careers of bands like August Burns Red, The Pink Spiders, Texas in July, Once Nothing, and Sadaharu.
