Nitro Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nitro Records is an independent record label created and owned by Dexter Holland (lead singer and founder of The Offspring) and Greg Kriesel (bassist for the same band). They started the label in 1995.
The label is famous as being an incubator for punk artists who have subsequently become successful, most notably AFI with their 2000 release The Art of Drowning. As time went on, long established groups such as The Damned and TSOL have been brought into the fold, and The Offspring have even used the label to re-release their eponymous debut album.
Currently, Nitro is rebuilding itself with a new roster of bands who fit more closely into The Offspring's melodic punk style, rather than the current trends of radio-friendly pop punk and screamo.
