Rancid is one of my favorite bands. They are an American punk band formed in 1991.
I like punk rock but I do not know much about Rancid
It was formed by Tim Armstrong & Matt Freeman, punk veterans who played in ska bands previously.
How is ska different than punk music?
Ska has a walking bass line accented with rythms while punk ecompasses more diverse rhythms.
What are some popular punk bands besides Rancid
Along wigh Rancid, Green Day & The Offspring are credited with reviving mainstream interest in punk rock.
I really liked Green Day.  Seems like they have been around forever
They have been around since 1986. They were formed by Billie Armstrong and Mike Dirnt.
Have they won any major awards?
