Label
An independent label has developed parallel to the magazine. Since it was relatively difficult for punk bands to get a record deal in the early 1990s , the makers of the Plastic Bomb Fanzine came up with the idea of producing bands that you yourself like. In the period that followed, CDs by groups such as Vageenas , No Respect , Rasta Knast or Trend were released on the Plastic Bomb label. In addition, publications by z. B. DOA , Real McKenzies , Deadline or Forgotten licensed for Germany on the sub-label Social Bomb.
Until 2007, Farewell Records was also part of Plastic Bomb . Among other things, the last album of the band Poison Idea , Latest Will and Testament, was released there . Farewell is now run independently.
