We released the penultimate episode of the pod today with a big messy mailbag episode. Including @debaclerecords getting real about BEING a mess in 2003 and Tom Delonge's Boxcar Racer album.
@riksharma_ Thanks for listening! (and if you think we were harsh on "Indestructible," please don't listen to any of the "Indestructible" episodes lol ;) - srsly, thx though!)
Hard to believe we’re 52 episodes - ONE YEAR - into this podcast, but we’re having a blast and are thrilled so many of you are along for the ride. To celebrate this week we dig into our namesake track, one of the best off AOCTWs!
We launch our new Radical Acceptance shirt! All proceeds benefit the @trevorproject.
The 11th Hour stands with LGBTQ youth and, most relevantly, against all efforts to erase or harm these folks via legislative actions in the US.

This week as we celebrate reaching FIFTY episodes, we welcomed everyone to send in thoughts, questions, bribes…etc, so we could gather a mailbag episode. Join us as we answer your questions and read your testimonials about what Rancid and fandom mean to you.

I’ve been friends with Jesse since the early 1980s when we were teenagers. We formed Operation Ivy in 1987 and 2 years later we broke up.
s like you get a song that is more Rancid than it is Bad Religion. Not to mention the very surprising co-songwriter Johnette Napolitano who it turns out is not actually Linda Perry…in case anybody was confused.
What do you do when you cross Bad Religion’s surf punk and Tim Armstrong’s vocals? It seems like you get a song that is more Rancid than Bad Religion.

This week we try to find the diamond in the muck of ...Honor is All We Know. Malfunction is a by-the-numbers throwback to Kinks-like rock and roll but without any charm or invention. Is there any hope for 2010s Rancid?

An early Xmas present, a new episode is out a day early! And of course, what else could we pick for the week of Xmas than Tim Timebomb & Friends inexplicably covering "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch." https://t.co/jiGyAMLotK
@blastmasterbake Yes, that was it exactly! It's not peak-Rancid, but just felt so good to have something fun and new and that, for whatever reason (we talked a bit about this on the episode we recorded today), that doesn't have the baggage some of the other 2000s albums have. Glad it resonated!
This week we dig into another Trouble Maker track, "Where I'm Going." It's a song that is so much better than any late-period Rancid song has the right to be. https://t.co/49EcjKovQa
@kev6numbers Oh, I agree with that, and really I hope they never do it, but just get paranoid that the couple little things from the last year hint at it some day.
New post collecting the last two episode (since last week's went out on the holiday!). Last week we dug into Brad's favorite track from the 93 s/t, "Detroit," and this week we talk about our least favorite song of Wolves - "She's Automatic" https://t.co/L36gThGX37
