Description
Rancid – Self-titled LP
Without hardly any fanfare and with a minimum of promotion former Operation Ivy members, Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong, banged-out a debut 7″ on Lookout! Records in 1992 and then rolled-up on Epitaph a year later with this full-length album. 15 tracks of high-energy punk with heavy bass leads and Armstrong’s permanently slurred vocals. They toured the UK not long after, though the DIY network, and if memory serves correct, they were pretty decent live.
