Rancid To Record Eighth Studio Album

Rancid has announced plans to enter the studio to record their eighth album after their run of dates with Blink 182. They will be recording with Brett Gurewitz and plan to release it in 2012 as part of their 20th anniversary:

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.

We’ll keep everyone posted with any new developments. 2012 will be a big year for us, because it’s our 20th Anniversary, so we’re definitely going to do our own tour all over the world.

Rancid last released Let The Dominoes Fall in 2009.
