Episode description
Rancid are one of the world's biggest ever punk bands. Formed in California in 1991, they have sold more than four million albums worldwide.
Vocalist and guitarist Lars Frederiksen has been with them since 1993, and he also fronts his own streetpunk band The Old Firm Casuals. Son of a Danish mother and an Italian-American father, Lars has devoted his life to his vision of punk and the old ideals of uniting different youth tribes against the system.
Tonight, he speaks frankly to Garry about his childhood experiences growing up with gang violence, and how UK rock weekly Sounds helped him survive the US equivalent of borstal.
