After a long six years, Rancid is in the game with their latest single, 'Tomorrow Never Comes,' off their upcoming album of the same name. This is the punk rock legends' 10th studio album (out June 2nd) with Brett Gurewitz producing for the seventh time.
The track is a straight-up banger, a fast and heavy ode to classic Rancid sound that feels like it could have been released 20 years ago. Lars Frederikson and Tim Armstrong's dueling vocals pummel through the verses, backed by the driving rock n' roll guitars that Rancid is known for. Matt Freeman and Branden Steineckert join in on the chorus here reminding us that after all these years the band can still tap into the raucous street punk energy that we know and love.
This single is a breath of fresh air, an injection of the long-lost energy that Rancid is known for. While their last few records have been enjoyable, they've lacked the ferocity and intensity of 'Tomorrow Never Comes'. If this track is any indication of what's to come on the album, then we're in for a treat. But even if it's just the gnarliest track on the album, we're still going to be pretty stoked.
