Some big news if you’re a Rancid fan. Shortly after their tour dates with Blink 182, the band plans to head to the West Coast for a few headliner shows. And here’s where the big news part comes in. They have also announced they will be heading into the studio in September to record album number 8. Here’s what the band had to say:
We are really excited about doing a small run of shows later this summer with our friends Blink 182, August 25 through Sept 4th, and immediately after those shows Rancid will be headlining 4 shows on the West Coast. Rancid has been taking an extended break for the last 18 months, and we thought that these shows would help us to get our chops up before going into the studio with Brett Gurewitz to record our eighth album in September. It’s always good for us to go out and play some shows, just to get us ready before going into the studio, and that helps bring that live energy to tape.
