"The perfect intersection of Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen's songwriting peak, coinciding with a music industry that gave a shit about punk rock again."

More Rancid More Rancid

Two decades ago, the mainstream was dabbling in punk rock thanks to bands like Green Day and The Offspring.

Meanwhile, just to the left of the mainstream, there were watershed moments like Punk In Drublic from NOFX and Bad Religion's Stranger Than Fiction. Now the dust has settled and only the real classics remain. Classics like Rancid's ...And Out Come The Wolves: the perfect intersection of Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen's songwriting peak, coinciding with a music industry that gave a shit about punk rock again. The result is 19 tracks (plus two new bonus songs for this anniversary reissue) that hold up higher, and hit harder than ever.
