Fat Wreck Chords has launched a pre-order for an upcoming vinyl reissue of Strung Out's EP, The Element Of Sonic Defiance. This release marks the first time it will be available on vinyl and commemorates the 10th anniversary of Element which was released in 2000, shortly after the apocalypse created by the Y2K bug. The long-running band commented on the album and its meaning to them:

The Element of Sonic Defiance was a very special and important album in the progression of Strung Out. We can remember writing it and feeling like we had no limits or boundaries on us and that it was the most dynamic stuff we had written up 'til that point. It may have seemed like a big change to our fans but it really was an honest extension of a lot of the stuff we were doing on Twisted By Design, as well as our first recording with Chris. At the time it seemed like a lot of people didn't quite get it, but now it's become a cult classic to a lot of our fans. It's for sure an album we're all quite proud of and we wouldn't change nothing about it. We're happy that it's finally coming out on vinyl for all our fans that still love records.

Colored vinyl pre-orders have begun and can be found here.
