Rancid

Description

Rancid’sself-titled first full-length and Epitaph debut came out May 1993 and was filled with the ferocity of three young men (Tim ArmstrongandMatt Freeman, along with original drummerBrett Reed) still living in squats, getting around on bikes or in old beaters and viewing the world with all the hostility of the very young and opinionated.Rancidhad seen the American dream dwindle and fade in their country and in their community, saw its end trickle down into their families, and their early songs, like “Whirlwind” were filled with vivid descriptions of the aftermath. Though free from any of Operation Ivy’s signature ska/punk sound,Rancidtook up the torch of social commentary and the examination of the local scene and instantly inflamed the newly revived punk community, setting the stage for what was to come.
