Red Strings Records is an independent record label based out of NC -- we are dedicated to the promotion of the NC music scene and artists that exist (or existed) in that community... Formed by some people that were djs at WQFS -- Guilford College's radio station... who currently hold "real jobs" in literacy work and sustainable agriculture. Our output waxes and wanes with the seasons and other cycles of life. If you want to know more, then talk to us!

p.s. ...we used to be called permaculture records but for lots of reasons we decided to separate ourselves from that identity -- the red strings thing has nothing to do with Kabbalah... if you want to know more wikipedia "band of the red strings" or read the passage below...
Bryant Scott likewise used his position in the Home Guard to obtain information on planned Confederate conscription forays and then sent word to draft resisters to "be on the lookout" for the enrollment officers. While on patrol Scott also allowed captured draft resisters to escape. On one occasion, Scott reconnoitered with a man piloting Confederate army deserters out of the mountains and then sent the local militia in the wrong direction to locate the deserters. This arrangement, the pilot told the Claims Commission, provided local Unionists with "a fund of merriment."27Scott and his comrades involved in the "underground railroad" in the mountain areas were not ordinary resisters, however. They belonged to the secret society known as the Heroes of America, or "Red Strings." A secret handshake, an oath, and the red strings which these men hung outside of their windows served "to distinguish the Union men from the rebs," one member told the Claims Commission. Organizers kept the Heroes completely decentralized so that most people only knew for certain one other member of the organization, and most carried on their anti-Confederate activities in secrecy.28However, some members of the Heroes of America, such as Caleb Idol, a seventy-year-old farmer took up bold and outspoken positions against the Confederacy. When informed by a neighbor that the Confederates planned to hang the Union men in the county, Idol swore "they might hang or do what they pleased, he was not going to quit talking his Union sentiments," according to a witness before the commission. Some, such as Scott, were radicals who wanted to overthrow the state's ruling class and favored emancipation of the slaves.
