RANCID
Keep the spirit of 924 Gilman alive: volunteer collective ethics, street level storytelling, fierce dual vocals, and lightning bass solos that honor our working-class roots.
Forged out of Operation Ivy and 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, CA by Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman. Following the breakup of Operation Ivy, Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman joined forces with Brett Reed and later Lars Frederiksen, releasing seminal 7-inches on Lookout! before crafting masterpieces like '...And Out Come the Wolves' while steadfastly maintaining DIY independence.
