Rancid Biography
Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1991 by Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both former members of Operation Ivy. The band is frequently cited, along with Green Day and the Offspring, as part of the group of acts that helped renew mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid 1990s. Rancid has maintained a substantial portion of its original audience, much of which is connected to its underground punk roots.
