abstract
  • Rancid were formed in 1991 in Berkeley, California, by [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Matt+Freeman+(2)]Matt Freeman[/url] and Tim Armstrong, both of whom were former members of Operation Ivy and Downfall (6).Rancid includes Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Freeman on bass and vocals, Brett Reed on drums and Lars Frederiksen on guitar and vocals. Reed left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Branden Steineckert, former drummer of [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Used,+The]The Used[/url]. As of November 2006, Armstrong and Freeman have been permanent members of the band and Frederiksen did not join Rancid until 1993 after the band was searching for a second guitar player.They are credited, along with fellow California bands [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Offspring,+The]The Offspring[/url] and Green Day, with reviving mainstream popular interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid 1990s and having recorded on Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph Records (among others), have played a major role in the re-invention of ‘traditional’ punk values in a modern punk scene dominated by pop, metal and emo sensibilities.Rancid's style often draws comparison with [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Clash,+The]The Clash[/url] in their albums [r=396440] and [r=424844], the latter of which is sometimes referred to as %22Rancid's Sandinista!%22. This influence is further emphasized by direct homages to the seminal punk rock group in the lyrics to several of Rancid's songs, such as the title track to [r=561395].
dbo:abstract
  • Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1991. Founded by 1980s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, who previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is often credited, along with Green Day and The Offspring, for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States and bringing punk rock into the mainstream during the mid-1990s. Unlike many of their contemporaries, however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots.Rancid includes Tim Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Freeman on bass and vocals, Lars Frederiksen on guitar and vocals, and Branden Steineckert on drums. The band was formed by Armstrong, Freeman, and former drummer Brett Reed, who left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Steineckert. Frederiksen joined Rancid in 1993 when the band was searching for a second guitar player.To date, Rancid has released eight studio albums, one split album, one compilation, two extended plays, and a series of live online-only albums, and has been featured on a number of compilation albums. The band has independently sold over four million records worldwide, making it one of the most successful independent punk groups of all time. The band rose to fame in 1994 with its second studio album, Let's Go, featuring the single %22Salvation%22. In the following year, Rancid released its highly successful album ...And Out Come the Wolves, which produced its best-known songs %22Roots Radicals%22, %22Ruby Soho%22 and %22Time Bomb%22, and was certified gold and platinum by the RIAA, selling over one million copies in the United States alone. Its next four albums — Life Won't Wait (1998), Rancid (2000), Indestructible (2003) and Let the Dominoes Fall (2009) — were also critically acclaimed, though not as successful as ...And Out Come the Wolves. Rancid released ...Honor Is All We Know, their first studio album in five years, on October 27, 2014.
