Rancid formed after the demise of Operation Ivy, with founding members Tim Armstrong (vocals, guitar) and Matt Freeman (bass, vocals) regrouping to create an even better band.
Signing with Epitaph Records, the band released their first album, ‘Rancid’, in 1993. Shortly thereafter, Lars Frederiksen (vocals, guitar) joined the band. The result, in 1994, was “Let’s Go.”
In 1995 the band released their Platinum-selling classic ‘…And Out Come the Wolves’, which they following up with ‘Life Won’t Wait’ in 1998 and the self-titled ‘Rancid’ in 2000.
After ‘Indestructible’ in 2003, Branden Steineckert (drums) joined to solidify Rancid’s current line-up. They subsequently released the albums ‘Let The Dominos Fall’ (2009), ‘Honor Is All We Know’ (2014), and ‘Trouble Maker’ (2017).
