This week we chatted with music writer and Rancid mega fan, Tom Breihan (Stereogum, AV Club)! We had a really fun conversation about all things Rancid, writing about punk, padlock chain necklaces, and lots more! 

This week we're diving into Rancid's polarizing 2003 album: Indestructible! We get into all the nitty gritty about the narratives surrounding this record, from major label controversy, to break-up drama, to polishing the sound... Also talking about Wikipedia university, giant water bottles, constant pee breaks, Ransen/Hancid, and more! 

HEYO!! The Nimrods Podcast returns for a week to discuss Green Day's latest one-off single "Pollyanna." Also The Rods ponder why nothing feels big deal anymore, Star Wars Check-In, how to handle spoilers, and so much more! 

We'll be back to The Best Good Band Podcast next week, thanks for listening! 

What's up 'cid heads, this week we're talking about Rancid's self-titled 2000 ripper! The band is pissed, these songs rock, and we're also going on about The Crew, Casino, sunflower seeds, and so much more! 

This week we're taking a trip into Rancid's ambitious 1998 album, Life Won't Wait! It's a wild record and a wild episode that includes lawn mowers, taco bell, Easter, whipping plop, and so much more! 

HERE WE GO FOLKS. This week we're talking about the big one, Rancid's 1995 all time classic: ...And Out Come The Wolves! Strap in for two hours of us being VERY enthusiastic about this album. 

THANKS FOR LISTENING, hit us with your emails: [email protected]

This week we're taking a deep dive into Rancid's sophomore LP, Let's Go! It's 1994, Lars is in Rancid, punk is getting big, and this album rocks.

See ya in the pit!

Welcome to The Best Good Band Podcast: the definitive exploration into what makes a band good, and what good band is the best! 

James and Jake (aka The Golden Nonsense Boys, aka The Nimrods, akaThe JAG Boys) are back with a brand new podcast! Each season they'll be digging into the discography of one band to try and finally answer the age-old question, "what makes a band good?" Season One is all about Rancid, and this first episode is a deep dive into the band's 1993 self-titled debut album.  Also an introduction to the new pod, an explanation of the highly scientific and definitely-not-arbitrary method behind the madness, and so much more!

HEYO!!!!  Here comes the shock: THE RODS ARE BACK ALREADY.  We said we'd make our big return when Green Day put out new music, turns out that was only a couple weeks after our grand finale...  So we're back this week to do our sacred duty and discuss and rank GD's new song "Here Comes The Shock."  And of course we're also getting up to a bunch of golden nonsense too. 

See ya when we see ya! 

HEEEEYOOOOOOO THIS IS THE END!!!!!! The big finale has finally arrived, for real this time! The Rods are joined by Patsomniac Graham to complete the Definitive Green Day Song Ranking List with two absolute all-timer GD songs: "J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)" and "Basket Case." What song will take the number one spot!?!? 

We're also talking about our top ten personal favorite Green Day songs and our personal album rankings, along with Star Wars Check-In, The Simpsons, Tiger Woods, how to say "good set" whether you mean it or not, jump boxes, cartoons that correspond with bands, goodbye listener mail, and so much more!! 

We will return to The Nimrods whenever there's something new in the world of Green Day, and please keep an eye out for details about our upcoming new podcast. Thank you all so much for listening, this has been so much fun to do and we really appreciate you all taking the ride with us.
