Rise Against More Popular Than Rancid

Word that Rancid were opening for warmed-over hardcore band Rise Against on their summer tour ruffled more than a few feathers in the punk community. How dare they relegate a band that just last year played two headlining gigs at the Kool Haus to a support slot? But this is 2009 and the reality is that Rise Against are on constant rotation on...

Tim Armstrong — A Poet's Life

Buoyed by the surprise success of "Into Action," Rancid/Transplants frontman Tim Armstrong is riding high as he releases a full-length of solo material recorded in collaboration with L.A.-based reggae/rock outfit, The Aggrolites.

It was one of their best, but no-one understood it, so instead of staying the course they’ve stepped back into the...

Hey, guess what?! This is a Rancid record, which means half the songs crib mercilessly from The Clash, and the rest of them sound like "Ruby Soho." Oh, wait. That's the same thing.
