I think Rancid is my favorite band. They formed in Berkeley, California in 1991.
Don't know much about them. They're a punk band, yes?
Yeah Tim Armstrong, and Matt Freeman are probably the most well known members of it.
Hmm. Berkeley is a really cool town. Are the band members from there?
I think Tim is, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base. So they never moved on to a big label.
That's great. Most bands ditch the independents once they become successful. How many members are in the band?
4 now but the second guitarist Frederiksen joined Rancid in 1993
