Time Bomb Recordings is a Laguna Beach, California based record label founded by artist manager Jim Guerinot in a 1994 joint-venture agreement with Arista Records. In the following 6 years, the artist roster grew to encompass a variety of musical genres (punk, indie, rock-a-billy); generally falling under the label "alternative rock." When the Arista agreement expired in 2000, Time Bomb signed with BMG Distribution.
