rancid-2016

Punk legends Rancid have announced the release of their ninth studio album ‘Trouble Maker’. The followup to 2014’s ‘…Honor Is All We Know’, ‘Trouble Maker’ features the producing talents (yet again) of Brett GurewitzBad Religion legend and Epitaph founder. Along with the announcement of the LP, the band released their first single off it: ‘Ghost Of A Chance’.

Reminiscent of the Rancid of old, the track clocks in at just under two minutes long. With a hectic summer schedule ahead of them, Rancid are set to join Green Day on their European tour starting June 4th in Holland, and less than three weeks later co-headline with Dropkick Murphys (a band of whom they helped get their big break) across North America, beginning on July 27th in Bangor, Maine. You can find the cover art, tracklist, and lead single from ‘Trouble Maker’ down below, along with all their tour dates. ‘Trouble Maker’ is out June 9th via Hellcat Records/Epitaph.
