Albany, California, United States (1991 – present)
Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in 1991 in Albany, California, by Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong, both of whom previously played in ska punk band Operation Ivy. The band is credited with helping to revive mainstream popular interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s.
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 Steineckert. Frederiksen joined Rancid in 1993 when the band was searching for a second guitar player.
To date, Rancid has released six studio albums, one split, one compilation, two EPs, a series of live online-only albums, and has been featured on countless compilations. The band rose to fame in 1994 with their second album, Let’s Go, featuring the single “Salvation”. In the following year, Rancid released their highly successful album …And Out Come the Wolves, which produced their best-known hits “Roots Radicals”, “Ruby Soho” and “Time Bomb”, and was certified gold and platinum by the RIAA. Their most recent studio album, Let the Dominoes Fall, was released on June 2, 2009.
Early history (pre-1993)
Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman had been playing together in the influential[7] ska punk band Operation Ivy from 1987-1989. When Operation Ivy broke up they decided to form a new band, and started another ska punk band called Downfall, which only lasted a few months. They then started a hardcore punk group called Generator, which also quickly broke up.

Bamlaflamme what are you talking about? They have a very ska punk sound to them. A lot of their songs give off that feel which isn't surprising considering Tim and Matt came from Operation Ivy which is like one of the first ska punk bands to ever exist. Listen to arrested in shanghai or start now, or Coppers. Especially coppers. Ska.
