Retard Disco is a Los Angeles-based record label. The label launched with two debut releases by 14 Year Old Girls and Hawnay Troof in 2003.

Henry Rollins has been a vocal fan of the label, frequently playing Retard Disco releases on his radio show and citing the label, alongside Dischord, Ipecac, and Matador, as his favorites.[1][2]

The label first gained attention when the band 14 Year Old Girls performed live on national TV, on Tech TV's X-Play and G4 TV's The Screen Savers and Players. The band was written up in GamePRO, EGM, GameNOW and more, played shows with Gravy Train!!!!, Pansy Division and The Briggs. They once played at Magic Mountain and they have played at an Elks Lodge. Maximum Rock'n'Roll called them "Quite endearing" and Punknews.org declared them "the inventors of Nintendo punk." [3]

Epsilons band-members included then-teenagers Ty Segall and Charlie Mootheart.

Because the label was home to bands 14 Year Old Girls, Totally Radd!!, and Bad Dudes, it became known as a hub for the genre known as "Nintendo Punk."[4]
