Quickly developing a fan base in the rockin szene, the label became synonymous for authentic Rockabilly music. Rhythm Bomb Records rapidly grew into an internationally known brand and opened subsidiaries in London and Los Angeles.
Most recently, they have developed from a traditional record company to a music marketing and promotion agency.
They also have another side, Koko Mojo Records, it's called, "the dark side of Rhythm Bomb Records. The approach of Koko Mojo Records is very simple: to release danceable 1950s Blues/Rhythm & Blues music on vinyl! Its compiled by DJs and their main goal is to make you dance!
