Rancid - Red Hot Moon

Rancid is a punk band, formed in 1991 in Albany, California, by Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong.

Rancid includes Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Freeman on bass and vocals, Lars Frederiksen on guitar and vocals, and Branden Steineckert on drums. The band was formed by Armstrong, Freeman, and former drummer Brett Reed, who left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Branden Steineckert. Frederiksen joined Rancid in 1993 when the band was searching for a second guitar player.

They are credited, along with fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Green Day with reviving mainstream popular interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid 1990s.

Rancid's style often draws comparison with The Clash in their albums ...And Out Come the Wolves, which is often considered one of the most popular albums released in the second-wave of punk, and Life Won't Wait, the latter of which is sometimes referred to as "Rancid's Sandinista!".

Among mainstream audiences, Rancid is best-known for their hit songs "Ruby Soho", "Time Bomb", "Salvation", and "Fall Back Down". As of 2007, Rancid has been working on a studio album expected to be released sometime in 2008 on Hellcat Records.
