Time Bomb Recordings

Time Bomb Recordings was a Laguna Beach, California-based independent record label, founded in 1995 by artist manager Jim Guerinot in a joint-venture agreement with Arista Records. In the following five years, the artist roster grew to encompass a variety of musical genres (punk, indie, rockabilly); generally falling under the label "alternative rock". When the Arista agreement expired in 2000, Time Bomb signed with BMG Distribution.

Time Bomb continued to release new albums in physical form until 2007, with the release of Social Distortion's Greatest Hits compilation album.
