Is there any official news about a break-up? JimmyShelter 09:18, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
No. There wasn't. Rancid has had side projects for a long time, it means little. Sounds like some non-facts getting into there. Since it can't be verified by any stretch of the imagination, it has no place in an encyclopedia. THollan
- THollan, I found it on the Internet Movie Database of Tim Armstrong, that's how I found out about some break-up. Well, it seems that somebody must be wrong when it was posted it at the "Where Are They Now?" section. -- Mike Garcia 23:06, 9 Mar

I will try and find out where in the charts their singles were. TearAwayTheFunerealDress 15:35, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
I think the section about Billy Joe Armstrong is a little confusing when it refers to "Armstrong", because it could also be talking about Tim Armstrong (aren't they brothers?)--CallmeNiel 03:55, 13 November 2005 (UTC) no they are not brothers! btw it's Billie joe
Billie Joe Armstrong and Tim Armstrong have to be related in some way. Not only did Green Day in the early days play with OpIvy (early incarnation of Rancid, with Tim Armstrong) and watch their shows in the old Bay City scene, but they have consistently remained fans of Operation Ivy and Rancid to this day and Billie Joe has done some work with them. I find it hard to believe that Billie Joe isn't at least a cousin or something of Tim's.
They are in no way related. Armstrong is a fairly common name. Billie Joe was just an avid Op Ivy fan and developed a friendship with Tim which has been maintained to this day.
- Just because people sometimes have the same last name (like Williams, Johnson, Jones or Smith), doesn't mean they're actually related. Like for example: MxPx's Mike Herrera also has the same last name as the drummer from Suicidal Tendencies, but does that mean they could be related as well? Alex 03:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Indestructible
This makes no sense
(the 2003 follow-up album Indestructible was released by Warner Bros. Records where the band continue to be signed to this day.**) Rancid's 2003 album Indestructible was released under Hellcat Records. While Warner Bros. Records were responsible for distribution of this album. Rancid never actually signed to Warner Bros. Records.
So Indestructible was:
1. Released by Warner Bros
2. Released under Hellcat but distributed by Warner Bros
and Rancid:
1. are currently signed to Warner Bros
2. have never been signed to Warner Bros
If I've interpretted this incorrectly, perhaps it needs to be reworded.

Rancid is indeed still on Hellcat Records. Hellcat and Warner Bros hooked up in a distribution deal with the goal being more album sales and promotion for Indestructible. Warner Bros dealt only with the marketing and advertising of the album. If you look at a copy of Indestructible, there is no Warner Bros logo on it, just Hellcat. They are on Hellcat with promotional help from Warner Bros.24.144.213.69 02:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Side Projects
Matt Freeman was also a member of Aunite Christ, along with Exene and DJ Bonebreak from the band X. He appeared on their Lookout Records release, "Life Could Be a Dream" L176, February 1997. He toured with the band for a bit then had to leave the band because Rancid was recording/touring more.
Also, is it me or was ...And Out Come the Wolves more of a commercial success than Let's Go? I think Time Bomb, Roots Radicals and Ruby Soho did better on the airwaves and television than any Let's Go single.
And finally, Lars Fredericksen it should be noted that he has produced quite a few Oi/Street Punk band's albums including: Swingin' Utters - Streets of San Francisco, Patriot - We the People, Pressure Point - Cross to Bear and Life's Blood as well as The Forgotten - Veni Vidi Vici. There are most likely more, but those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head. He also did some back up guitars and vocals for Union 13's Roots Radicals cover on the Give 'Em The Boot 1 compilation. clash77 - August 13, 2006
[edit] Other Songs Appeared On
Both Tim and Lars have also appeared on: Dr. Israel's Inna City Pressure album, the song "Coppers" On the West Memphis 3 Compilation, Rise Above DJ Citizen D 03:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pop punk
Shouldn't pop punk be added, because some websites such as the amg refer to them as that.DavidJJJ 20:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hellcat
I thought that only Indestructible was released under Hellcat records while all other albums were released under Epitaph. On Rancid (skull cover) wiki site the label is listed as Epitaph. Can someone check this out? Likthem 22:55, 02 March 2007 (UTC)
-Life Won't Wait was the last album to feature Epitaph on the CD case/Disc, from then on Hellcat is used. Therefore Rancid (2000) and Indestructible are both marked Hellcat.
[edit] 2006 and Later
I removed the comment about selling out in reference to their recording songs with Good Charlotte and Kelly Osbourne. Regardless of our personal feelings on occurrences such as this, this is a violation of NPOV. Stick to the facts.
Also, sources need to be cited on the reasons as to why Frederiksen collapsed on stage in August 2006. As of yet, I found nothing that positively asserted that drugs were related to it, so I've tagged those lines with citations needed, and I will remove those if no one is able to prove that assertion.
