    I've heard a few of their songs and they were excellant.I got a
    flash back to 1978 when I heard them.They have a song called
    "Salvation" which got a lot of airplay,"Radio" which got zero airplay
    and now there's "Timebomb" which I've heard once.The first 2 were all
    out punk rock while Timebomb was a ska song and caught me unaware!
      Very good stuff and some big mo-hawks too! 8)

    Are you kidding? SKA died, thankfully, in the mid-80's and this putrid
    band does not sound like the Clash!! Not even remotely! These guys are
    boring, unimaginative and trying to get popular like Green Day and
    Offspring.
    
    This band with suffer a very quick death.

    RE: .2 and .3
    
    Bugger off, the both of you!  Thankfully, ian has some *taste*, and
    can recognize GOOD music when he hears it.  Sadly, this is not a gift 
    shared by everyone, and your notes clearly prove this point.
    

    
    	Musical styles never die, they just get forgotten for a decade
    	or so until someone decides to try and revive them.
    
    	And ska ROOLZ.

	Aren't these two bands on the same level as Rancid???  Maybe not
	as popular as these two, they sure do play at the same level.

        SET FLAME = THERMONUCLEAR

	As for Ska, thankfully dead!  I could say the same about you!
	Doggin' Ska, the mother of slam dancing, is like doggin' Elvis
	or Chuck Berry.  

	Some people are tunnel visioned, but you, you're blind!!!

	FLAME = OFF

    	Ska isn't dead, (wish I remembered their name) there's a very
    	popular band here in the Boston area, that packs in quite a
    	large crowd every time they play. But mainly because they're
    	a popular good-times dance band, with horn section. (And no,
    	it's not the mighty-mighty Boss-tones)
    
    	I think that the letters Ska are in their name, *****@@##$!
    	sheesh, I can't remember!

    
    	Bim Skala Bim?

    RE.4
    Long live Rancid. HMMMMMMMM, More like short lived.
    
    RE.6
    
    Green Day and Offspring.  Maybe if they got regular hair cuts and a
    decent wardrobe isted of looking like every mothers nightmare they
    might go farther.
    
    Elvis wasn't that great.  Too many fried peanut butter and banana
    sandwiches and pills made die on the throne.  And for Chuck Berry.  Who
    knows what happened to him.

    Green Day and Offspring suck too. Rancid can't compete even if Green
    Day and Offspring were good!!
    
    Punk died in '78 with the passing of Sid Vicous. Punk in any form
    nowadays is NOT true punk. Even if they look the part and crunch only 2
    chords.
    
    Y'all wake up!!!
    
    Dave
    

    Rancid p**s on offspring and green day,they are awesome,
    There new album got top marks from Kerrang! last week which just
    confirms the fack.
    
    PUNK LIVES!!

    Geez...Kerrang used to have credibility. Oh well.
    Punk my friend is dead.

    RE: .12
    
    	Who the h@ll is Kerrang.  Then it's prabably better that I didn't
    know.  He sounds like a loser anyway.

	If Ya'll knew punk, you would know it's a state of mind, not a music!
	Punk is an anarchist attitude!!  Sid Vicious (R.I.P.) was not the only
	epitome of a punk.    

	/Cap'n Quad

	BTW Sid died in '79...

	Look the part, I love it HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Re: .15
    
    (in a grumpy old voice)...these kids nowadays...I tell ya...
    they call Green Day punk ! Why that's sissy music...I mean look at 
    em..young whipper snappers playin their instruments tryin to be 
    cool...why back in my day they didn't have instruments...they just 
    used to run around the stage with their hair on fire screamin "
    look at me..I'm a punk with my head in flames".  That's the way 
    it was and we liked it !
    
    Shane, who wonders if punk music will ever get past the 2 chord barrier

    Uhhh, since when does that make a band a hit?

    They still suck...anyone who thinks Punk is still alive is going
    through a time warp. 
    God, the Clash is even getting back together for a album and tour...why
    cuz they want the money that the 'new punk bands' are getting. Punk, as
    was stated is an attitude. Sid died and punk died with him.
    
    Here end of the lesson.
    
    Dave 

    
    Punk is like every other musical fad...it will come and go regardless
    if Sid Vicious is there or not.To say that punk died the day that Sid
    did is wrong.
       As for the Clash making an album and touring...you're right,they're
    only in it for the money but so were the Eagles when they re-formed!

    I agree with Hooker.  Don't you guys know that "good music" is in the
    ear of the beholder?  Punk lives as long as people buy/listen to it.
    Wether you like it or not.
    
    
    Grammy, who would like to put some of you young wipper-snappers over
    her knee for your mean attitudes!!

    
    	Watch it, Grammy, most of the guys in here would like to be spanked
    	by you.
    
    	8^)
    

    Well I just might enjoy that too!
    
    Grammy

    
    	A friend let me borrow "And Out Come the Wolves" ... overall, I
    	have to say I wasn't impressed.
    
    	Bad points:  Too punkish for me.
    		     Sound alot like Bad Religion, for the most part
    
    	Good points: The ska stuff was good.
    		     The bassist is excellent.  Check out the bass solo
    		       in the 1st song, "Maxwell Murder".
    

    
    
    how can "too punkish" be a bad point?
    
    
    all I've heard is the singles and it's been 3 fer 3 with me!

    You've summed it up perfectly -- "too punkish" ... yeah, Green Day
    is MUCH better ... not!  Billie Joe's "safe" hairdu, rather
    conservative clothing/lyrics/antics, etc. -- yeah, I can see why
    they are so popular -- they are more like "punk lite".
    
    Rancid roolz cuz they're the first f'ing band in 15 years to exemplify
    what PUNK is all about -- if you need to know what that is, listen to
    the album and figure it out.

    
    	Well, I apologize for not liking punk.
    
    	But that's the way it goes.
    

    
    What about Circle Jerks? I consider them more punk than Green Day OR
    Rancid!
    
    Just my $.02 worth. Bye! Out of punk, ...into.....
    
    Mike
    

    I think it's cool that Rancid is "breaking" right about now.  Their
    latest single, Ruby Soho, is getting major airplay on radio and even
    on eMpTyV ... good for them, they deserve it!!
    
    '...and out come the wolves' was one of my fav releases of this year!
