HardLore: Lars Frederiksen (Rancid)

HardLore: Lars Frederiksen (Rancid)

- By Matt Rushton -->

Colin and Bo sit down with punk legend Lars Frederiksen, guitarist/vocalist of Rancid, Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards, and Old Firm Casuals.

As one of the most prolific torch bearers of hardcore in the world, we learn the unique ways he found punk music, and how UK Subs played a pivotal role with every aspect of the beginning of his musical journey all the way through joining Rancid.

We dive deep into 1993-1995 when Lars joined Rancid and experienced the rapid growth from both "Let's Go" and "...And Out Come the Wolves". Thanks to Lars for joining us for this incredible episode! Rancid's new album "Tomorrow Never Comes" is out June 2nd.
