Nitro Records is an American independent record label, created and operated by Dexter Holland (from 1994 to 2013) (lead singer and founder of The Offspring) and fellow Offspring bassist Greg K. They started the label in 1994.[1] Nitro is famous for being an incubator for punk rock artists who have subsequently become successful, most notably AFI. The label has also released albums from classic punk bands, including The Damned and T.S.O.L.


In July 2013, Bicycle Music acquired Nitro Records.[2][3] Despite this, Nitro was reactivated in 2014, and has been releasing mostly vinyl reissues.[4] of AFI, The Vandals and The Offspring.
