Rancid is an American punk band formed in 1991 by Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both former members of the skapunk band Operation Ivy. It was mainly the ska element (mixed with a good dose of British street punk) that turned out to be the key to success for Rancid. Especially the 1995 ... And Out Come The Wolves grew into a modern punk classic. After the mediocre Life Won't Wait and the hard but
… little varied Rancid, the band now comes with Indestructible. And it must be said: this record has the allure of ... And Out Come The Wolves. Just like 'before' the band again deals in nice sing-alongs, crazy bass lines and a good dose of swing. Rancid has not forgotten it yet, in that respect the album title says enough. (RWK)more
