"Tomorrow never comes" CD by Rancid

Rancid originates from the working-class swamps of Berkeley, California and has been a vibrant and breathing punk rock band for over a quarter of a century.

In 1991, after the end of their beloved and still influential first band Operation Ivy, founding members Tim Armstrong (vocals, guitar) and Matt Freeman (bass, vocals) decided to do the impossible - to form an even better band. And thus, Rancid was born. The band signed with Epitaph Records and released their first album 'Rancid' in 1993. Shortly after, Lars Frederiksen (vocals, guitar) joined the band, which then went on to release incredible albums, from 'Let's Go' (1994) to the platinum classic '...And Out Come The Wolves' (1995). Drummer Branden Steineckert joined the band in 2003, solidifying the lineup that rocks to this day.

Throughout it all, Rancid has remained independent and never lost their loyalty to the community or to each other. Their music addresses political and social issues, while balancing personal stories of love, loss, and heartbreak with attitude. Rancid offers their listeners a community in which everyone can belong. By carrying on the traditions and spirit of the original punk rock bands that came before them, Rancid has become a legend and inspires the punk bands that have followed. They are the living embodiment of East Bay Punk. And if you still don't know all of this, then you're not playing their music loud enough!
