Rancid singer-guitarist Lars Frederiksen is selling off dozens of guitars with the launch of his official Reverb Shop on September 25th.
Frederiksen and Reverb made the announcement on Wednesday (September 18th) and previewed the shop’s initial stock, which includes a plethora of axes used by Frederiksen in the studio and onstage with Rancid and his solo projects through the years.
“Over the years, I’ve acquired a lot of different types of guitars, some basses, and a lot of other cool stuff,” Frederiksen told Reverb. “I’ve used it all in some way, whether it’s been on stage or in the studio, but it’s been sitting and collecting dust. So I’ve teamed up with Reverb to get some of this gear into the hands of people who will play it.”

In the waning days of the Nineties’ alt-rock revolution, just before major record labels turned forever away from left-of-center acts and toward more mainstream fare (coughBushcough) that forever made the world a duller place, Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins were two of the hottest young rock bands on the planet. And even though Green Day appealed more to punky skater types, and the Pumpkins fit in better with their sullen classmates on the other side of the detention hall, it wasn’t uncommon for teenagers in 1994 to have both Dookie...

Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, and AFI are among the bands, artists, and fans who have donated more than $200,000 to a GoFundMe for Sick of It All singer Lou Koller after his recent cancer diagnosis.
As we reported last week, Koller was diagnosed with a tumor in his esophagus, forcing Sick of It All to cancel their European tour. A GoFundMe was subsequently launched, revealing that the tumor is cancerous (adenocarcinoma), and many of his peers in the punk-rock community have donated to help out with his medical bills and loss of income while off the road.
Of the 4,000-plus donations that have come in so far, the aforementioned bands Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, and AFI have made the largest donations at $5,000 each.
In addition, AFI frontman Davey Havok donated a separate $2,000 on his own (under his birth name David Marchand), and fellow scene vets Hot Water Music and Snapcase each contributed $1,000 to the fundraiser,...

Part of a leg of UK tour dates with Weezer, the opening night saw Smashing Pumpkins get things started by playing a recording of “Atum,” the first track on the band’s recently-released concept album, Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts. From there, they performed a few older songs, and then covered U2’s 1991 song, “Zoo Station,” live for the very first time.

Rancid’s self-titled debut EP from 1992 has been released on digital streaming services for the first-time ever.
The original EP was released exclusively on 7-inch vinyl back in 1992 on Lookout! Records, predating Rancid’s heyday on Epitaph.

The debut became a sought-after slab of wax, as it introduced one of the greatest punk acts to emerge in the 1990s. The EP was reissued on 7-inch in 2012, but this marks the first time these five songs have been officially released digitally and follows the recent digital release of the band’s B Sides and C Sides compilation.
Singer-guitarist Tim Armstrong and bassist Matt Freeman (ex-Operation Ivy) formed Rancid in 1991 following their stint in Operation Ivy. The band was initially rounded out by drummer Brett Reed.
