CI Records is an independent record label in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, owned by Jeremy Weiss. Originally created to distribute the releases of his band, Stand Up, an early 1990s melodic hardcore band.[1] Weiss also operates the physical record store, CI Records & Skates in Downtown Lancaster.[2][3]

Albums by Jeff Caudill, Sense Field, The Juliana Theory and Jonah Matranga's (of Far, New End Original, Gratitude, and Onelinedrawing) followed after the initial success. Notable artists to sign with CI have included August Burns Red, Texas In July, The Pink Spiders, Carousel Kings, Sadaharu, Fire Deuce (The side project of Coheed and Cambria's Travis Stever), and Movies with Heroes. CI Records is also the homebase of the LAUNCH Music Conference & Festival, held annually in Lancaster and now entering its 16th year.[4]

The label owes its name to a punk rock band once played in founder Jeremy Weiss, called Corrupted Image, from which the initials were used.[1]
