Rancid
is a band that originated in hardcore and ska. Among mainstream audiences, Rancid is best-known for 1995's "Ruby Soho" and "Time Bomb" off ''...And_Out_Come_the_Wolves''. Rancid was very popular thoughout the 1990s, and the band constantly toured from 1993 through 1998. They have 6 full albums, the first 4 of which released through indie label, Epitaph_Records, along with many 7" vinyls and singles. Rancid's self-titled 2000 album was released on Hellcat_Records, and their 2003 record, ''Indestructible'', was released by Hellcat_Records and Warner_Brothers Records. Many long-time fans were disappointed that Rancid, who had long resisted major-label allure (and gained much fame and respect because of it), singed with the Warner_Brothers major. Hellcat, a division of Epitaph, is the brainchild of Tim_Armstrong and Brett_Gurewitz and now has many other up and coming (along with some well established) ska, punk, oi! and hardcore bands on their books. Their songs and albums are based on hard times ("7 Years Down", "Hyena"), world issues ("Rigged On A Fix"), old friends ("Old Friend, "GGF") and love ("She's Automatic", "Corazon de Oro"). They have sold over 1 million records.Discography
