Rancid Releases New Album
Rancid (pictured) is probably my favorite band, a hold over from my teen years with punk rock. Their latest album, “Let the Dominoes Fall”, which hit stores today, is the album I’ve been waiting for from the East-Bay Punkers. The punk drive and reggae- rockability of earlier albums like “…Out Come The Wolves” shines through while still showing the growth the band has had musically in their 16 + years together. Frontmen Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen are street-poets in my book, and if Rancid hasn’t achieved the stardom of fellow east-bay punks Green Day, then it’s a testament to their integrity and the unapologetically rough singing that defines them.
