'''Stretch Arm Strong''' (Also known as '''Stretch Armstrong''') is a [[hardcore punk]] band from [[Columbia, South Carolina|Columbia]], [[South Carolina]], and the flagship band for [[We Put Out Records]].  They were primarily active from 1992 to 2005. They are often mistaken as a Christian band for having been on Solid State Records, but as lead singer Chris McLane has stated in interviews, “we're not a Christian band, we never were a Christian band and we never professed to be a Christian band.” <ref>{{cite web |title=Stretch Arm Strong |url=http://www.punknews.org/article/7594 |website=Punknews.org |date= |access-date=August 9, 2015}}</ref> Vocalist Chris McLane appears on [[Zao (American band)|Zao]]'s ''The Lesser Lights of Heaven'' DVD. In 2020, the band was announced to perform at Furnace Fest 2020.
