Rancid’s new record HONOR IS ALL WE KNOW is much like their other records in the sense that it is filled with the stories and characters that populate the band’s lives, and reflects the cultural and political climate in which it was written and recorded. It has classic Rancid songcraft: two minute songs packed with melody, personally empathetic and politically denunciatory. But HONOR IS ALL WE KNOW is also unique in that it is filled with the growing insight of a band who has been doing this for a while now: it feels natural and organic, written without an agenda or a bone to pick, rather the culmination of lives lived largely with a keen interest in the world and a sense of brotherhood.
