With ringing ears, the members of Rancid pull their guitars from their amps as they finish their 2009 North American Tour with fellow bands Billy Talent, Rise Against and Riverboat Gamblers.

Twenty-years ago in Northern California, Tim Armstrong, Matt Freeman, Lars Frederiksen and Bret Reed formed the Ska Punk band, Rancid, which would later be known as the band responsible for reviving punk music.

Rancid’s sound comes from the inspiration of The Clash’s early albums with a Ska Punk twist. Ska Punk music is the style of fast, popular music that has a strong offbeat mixed with edge and attitude of Punk Rock. The style of Ska music started in Jamaica in the 1960’s becoming a forerunner of the music style reggae.
