Rancid is my favorite band. They are a kick ass punk band. Formed from members of the defunct Operation Ivy. I love their music. Its...its well its amazing. They havent put out a cd that I havent liked yet. Their new cd kicks ass they are still rocking. Rancid is straight ahead punk rock.

Now Lets Meet the Fellas

Tim Armsrtong-He plays guitar and sings. He is the main singer but shares the duties with Lars and Matt. Tim was originally in Op Ivy. Tim is my personal Favorite.

Lars Fredrickson-He also plays guitar and sings. He is more the lead guitar and less the singer. Hes got lots of tattoos and usually some sort of a mohawk.

Matt Freeman- He is the bassist. He is one of the best punk rock bassists. If not one of THE best of any kind of music. Matt also sings occasionally. He also was in Op Ivy although he was listed as Matt McCall.

Brett Reed- He is the drummer of Rancid. Sorry Brett I dont know what else to say.

Now for the albums


Rancid- This was their first full length. It is the first of their two self-titled cds. This is from back when Rancid was only a three piece. Consisting of Tim, Matt, and Brett. Lars joined up after this album. This album is good it has alot of quality tunes.

Lets Go- This is their second release. The first with their current lineup. The only change is of course, the addition of Lars. This album is a level above the first album. This cd is chock full of punk rock goodness.

And Out Come The Wolves- Their coming out party for the most part. This is their third full length effort. It is considered by many to be their best. I think it is close to it, if not the best. Lets go was great, but this album surpasses even that.

Life Wont Wait- The fourth album from Rancid. This album was considered a let down by alot of people. It doesnt live up to Out Come the Wolves, however I think it is a good album. It is somewhat of a departure for Rancid. As we find them experimenting a little. Overall I think it is a good album but not one of their finest.

Rancid(2000)-Their fifth and latest release. This album is Rancid again as we all knew and loved them. Hard, fast, punk fucking rock! I love this album it is one of their top three along with out come the wolves and lets go.
