Rancid

Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX, etc. are regarded as the world’s leading punk (rock) bands but in all fairness that list should always include Berkeley, California-based Rancid. This summer they will be crossing the Atlantic for the first time in ages and obviously their itinerary had to include GMM. Over the years Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman have authored a string of modest hits such as ‘Ruby Soho’ and ‘Time Bomb’, tracks that helped them build a sizeable following, albeit without outgrowing the underground scene. Their most recent outing is still 2017’s ‘Trouble Maker’ but word has it a new album is in the works. #GMM23
