Part of the family tree of melodic hardcore acts that started with Bad Religion and NOFX, Simi Valley’s journeymen punks Strung Out still play metal-infused punk that sends legions of snow and skate-boarders off of cliffs and ramps year after year. Though they reside in a musical area code that rarely rewards growth, the band has only gotten more precise and accomplished over the years, and they’ve been rewarded with over 1,000,000 albums sold, mostly on indie Fat Wreck Chords, and elder statesman status in SoCal punk.
