Tim Timebomb

Tim Timebomb is the solo project of Tim Armstrong, best known as the frontman of the influential punk rock band Rancid. Under the pseudonym Tim Timebomb, Armstrong has embarked on a prolific journey of musical exploration that sees him recording and releasing a variety of songs that often draw from a wide array of genres, including punk, ska, reggae, and folk. Since launching the project in late 2012, Tim Timebomb has been sharing a new track virtually every day, engaging fans with his relentless creativity and passion for collaboration. The project aptly named "Tim Timebomb and Friends" brings together a rotating cast of esteemed musicians to join Armstrong in this ambitious and expansive musical endeavor.

Reflecting Armstrong's eclectic taste and roots in the punk rock scene, the project's releases, like "Thrill Me" and "Be Yourself," showcase his knack for catchy, raw-edged tunes that blend the classic sounds of punk with more traditional folk and rockabilly styles. His rendition of well-known tracks such as "I Wanna Be Sedated" pays homage to the classics while infusing them with a fresh, Tim Timebomb twist. Original compositions like "In the Dew and the Rain" and "On a Night Like This" reveal a musician who is comfortable stepping outside the expectations set by his work with Rancid, proving that Tim Timebomb is not just a side project but a full-fledged artistic expression of Armstrong's versatile musical talents.
