Rancid performs "Fall Back Down"

In Britain, Punk Year Zero was 1977 with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and The Buzzcocks leading the charge with a boot to the bum for the complacent, dull rock and roll. Few bands have kept that spirit of ‘77 alive like the Bay Area’s Cali punks Rancid. Since 1991, Rancid have been the final word in real deal punk, taking The Clash’s penchant for roots-reggae along with the Crass’ politco-punch and enough American hardcore know how. Few current bands pack the blistering wallop of Rancid. See for yourself when Rancid play Town Ballroom this Sunday (Sept. 3), along with Big D and The Kids Table and Danny Diablo. Doors open at 7pm.
