Rancid

I have recently discovered Rancid thanks to a friend at school.... they are brilliant! If you like The Clash mixed with a bit of The Specials then they are for you. Some of the guitar is sooooo Mick Jones in style yet it is still original. Any other fans?

 

Rumour has it that lead singer Tim Armstrong has left Rancid (and the transplants) to join The Clash.

If you like Rancid then checkout The Transplants, very good in a different way.

I really like Rancid especially the Wolves album

 

Yup, The Transplants are good too. Very different as you said, but still very good

 

tgs approves of this thread!

good music , try listening to operation ivy , its a must

 

I have never listened to them.... what are they like? As in style/genre wise?

 

rancid are punk rock, btu some of their songs sound a bit reageaish... their cool. a good song by them is fall back down if u havnt heard them before

 

I have a friend who's obsessed by the, because of him it had to happen I kinda started to like them too. so I did:sunglasse, they're cool. have you seen some of their live perfomances? that singer guy hangs his guitar way too low to actually play it effectively, I don't like that. why does he put that guitar around his neck if he can't play it anyway? gimmick?

 

they are owsm i love em

 

i've loved them for years. i have like 3 of their cds. have u heard the rancid/nofx one? thats a good one too.

 

they were before rancid was formed... think tim armstrong was in it... when lars joined it became rancid... dont quote me on that but i know some of the members of rancid were in operation ivy

 

The BYO Split one? Good CD

 

have u guys heard of the distillers? the singer is maried to the guy from rancid... their a pretty good punk band concidering they have a chick singer (no offence to chick bands). i ordered the rancid cd life wont wait the other day... im eager to recieve it in the mail some day soon.

 

Tim Armstrong calls himself Lint.

Rancid CD's to listen to: ...And Out Come the Wolves
Let's Go!
Life Won't Wait
Rancid (self-titled)
They're new shit's getting weak, so I wouldn't bother

But if you like them then try out Lars Frederickson and the Bastards (Guitarist from Rancid)

 

Here's a great punk band with chick lead singer for you uneducated children:
Tsunami Bomb
Fucking great music, better live show. The Ultimate Escape is their only full length EP so I would recommend everyone who wants to be surprised to pick it up.

 

tsunami bomb? ill see if i can hear some stuff by them... i got life wont wait the other day, and most of the cd was good but there was some kinda crappy stuff on it...

 

Rancid are decent. A little too cheesy, but plenty of decent songs.

 

Brody Dalle is one fucking sexy woman!

The Transplants, Rancid and Op Ivy are all super great. Op Ivy is my favorite of the three though.

 

The Distillers are better, no offence...

Oh and, check out Devotchkas

None taken. I've heard Distillers before, quite a few times actually, and its blah. Mediocre, I think. SOmething about it throws me off. I even missed a little of Big D and the Kids Table at Warped Tour a few years ago to check out Distillers with my old girlfriend and thought they plain sucked. It's nothing new at all, just punk recycling punk + a boisterous chick
