Tim Timebomb is a music project by Tim Armstrong, best known as a member of the
punk rock band Rancid. Armstrong has recorded a large number of songs – a
mixture of cover versions, including Rancid covers, and original songs,
including some tracks from his musical film project RocknNRoll Theater – with a
variety of supporting musicians. A selection of the material was first
released as a download only album Tim Timebomb Sings Songs from RocknNRoll
Theater – this consisting of original songs featured in Armstrong's musical
film series "RockNRoll Theatre". Starting on October 29, 2012, a series
of digital singles have also been released, on a daily basis. These
singles are initially being released via YouTube, with one song each day being
released from October 29, 2012, onwards, and then being made available for
download via iTunes. To date, all of the tracks from the RockNRollTheatre album
have also been included in the series of singles, with the exception of the track
"Let's Fuck". Choice of music
According to Armstrong's website: Tim Timebomb and Friends is a place for
me to share with you some of my favorite songs that I've recorded with friends of
mine. I've always enjoyed sharing music, whether I'm just sitting around playing
acoustic guitar with my friends or breaking out old 45's. I guess you could
call me a music nerd. I like everything from Bob Dylan to the Ramones, to Jimmy
Cliff to Cock Sparrer. I plan to bring together a great group of players to
record covers as well as some originals. I hope you dig it and encourage you to
pass them on. All of Armstrong's bandmates in Rancid
appear along with Ryan Foltz, formerly of Dropkick Murphys, Travis Barker and
members of The Interrupters and The Ohio Ramblers. Three of the album's songs,
"That's Just The Way It Is Now", which was featured on Rancid's 2009 album, Let
the Dominoes Fall, "I'm Real" and "No More Living" were written by Armstrong
in 2007 while in Spain and are inspired by the classic 1964 Vincent Price movie,
The Last Man on Earth which was based on the 1954 novel, I Am Legend.
Albums Tim Timebomb Sings RocknRoll Theater
The album features versions of songs from the RockNRoll Theatre film series,
which is produced by Armstrong. 13 of the 14 tracks have also been released as
digital singles. Armstrong sings the lead vocals on all
songs, in contrast to the versions in the films, which are sung by the actors,
including Lars Frederiksen and Davey Havok.
