Rothrock started Bong Load Custom Records in the early 1990s enlisting former Record Plant Recording Studios co-workers, Bradshaw Lambert and
Rob Schnapf. Bong Load Records is notable for developing and releasing
Beck's "Loser" single which became the first number one, non-major label single since FM radio became mainstream.
During 2013, Rothrock returned to collaborate with
James Blunt on the album Moon Landing. Working primarily at Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood, California the resulting release was generally well received among music critics and considered a comeback for Blunt.
In 2016 Rothrock marked Bong Load Records' 25th anniversary by re-launching the label's vinyl record division. Rothrock relocated the Los Angeles company to the arts district of Las Vegas, Nevada.
