The original lineup consisted of vocalist Jason Cruz, guitarists Jake Kiley and Rob Ramos, bassist Jim Cherry and drummer Adam Austin. After releasing a self-titled 7" record, they became one of the first bands to be signed to Fat Wreck Chords, the record label owned and operated by Fat Mike of the band NOFX. Austin left the band in 1992 and was replaced by Brad Morrison who also left the band and was replaced on drums by Jordan Burns, formerly of fellow Simi Valley natives Ten Foot Pole. Their first album, Another Day in Paradise, was released in May of 1994. Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues followed in 1996. In 1998 they released The Skinny Years...Before We Got Fat, a compilation album of their pre-Fat Wreck Chords material.
The band showed notable musical growth on their 1998 album Twisted by Design, which was both speedy and technical but also punk-based and with darker overtones. The album established a mixture of the fast, poppy sound the band had established with Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues but mixed it with more atonality and more abstract song structures. Bassist Jim Cherry left the band in 1999 and went on to play in Pulley and Zero Down, but died of heart failure in 2002. He was replaced by Chris Aiken, whose musical background had a strong impact on the 2000 album The Element of Sonic Defiance, which continued in the fast, melodic punk tradition of the band while introducing more hard rock and metal elements.
In 2002 the band released their fourth full-length album An American Paradox, their first release to appear in the Billboard Top 200. The initial production run contained a bonus song entitled "Don't Look Back". A video was filmed for the song "Cemetery" and was included on several punk rock video compilations. In 2003 they recorded and released a live album as part of the Fat Wreck Chords Live in a Dive series. Exile in Oblivion, was released in 2004, with a video filmed for the song "Analog." Strung Out released their sixth full-length album, Blackhawks Over Los Angeles on June 12, 2007.
In March 2009, Strung Out released a compilation of B-sides, demos, and covers called "Prototypes and Painkillers" with material from all eras of the band's history. Many of these tracks have been on various punk compilations and/or were included in their "Live in a Dive" recording.
On September 29, 2009, Strung Out Released a their 7th studio album titled Agents of the Underground.

by Strung Out
You can't make me see what you think I should know
You don't understand where I'm coming from
We're passing through worlds no perception in time
I'm not the same as when I began
Show me don't tell me what's
Going on inside your little world
You should have never landed on the moon
You heard we never reached the sky
Then shed some light I'll lend a patient ear
Don't let me down I gotta know
If something good could grow out on this rock
Save me one more
And I'll be free from the I think it ought to be
Babble on
Could I be wrong
A silhouette of you and me
Just negetive space and time
Just reference to a simpler history
I'd sacrifice a million nights for a moments peace with you
Reflections to dissect reality
It's all in what we hold as being real
When the symbol kills the substance then we've lost
Save me one more time
And I'll be free from the alleyways of my heart
(You can't make me see what you think I should know)
I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere inside this state of mind
(You can't make me see what you think I should know)
We're going nowhere
We're going nowhere inside this state of mind
Sit and stay awhile
Talk to me about that things that make you real
Let forget about all that make you and me surrender
Surrender
