Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California in 1991.
Founded by 80s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both of whom previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is credited—along with Green Day and The Offspring—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s.
Unlike "Green Day" and "The Offspring" however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots.
Rancid's songs reflect its advocacy for populist radical politics, near-religious practice of DIY ethics, and discontent with punk elitism.
Rancid includes Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Freeman on bass and vocals, Lars Frederiksen on guitar and vocals, and Branden Steineckert on drums. The band was formed by Armstrong, Freeman, and former drummer Brett Reed, who left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Steineckert. Frederiksen joined Rancid in 1993 when the band was searching for a second guitar player.
Rancid is currently working on an eighth studio album, which is said to be recorded in September 2011, and expected to be released in 2012.

Hyena Lyrics
I'm money broke and it's no joke can't core use the rope this time (Hey !!)
nuckel up buckel up the ride's getting rough but i will not loose my mind (Hey !!)
i asked'em if i could come in and the first thing they said was no (Hey !!)
if i can't come in thats mean that i can't come back that means i got nowhere to go
i'm a hyena fighting for lion share
sometimes the lions share ain't there
absent from political authority an animal i've become (Hey !!)
total disorder and confusion is the life style that i run (Hey !!)
permit me to do what i want and i will i'm a nomad to travel (Hey !!)
concrete class stone and gravel
i'm a hyena fighting for lion share
sometimes the lions share ain't there
every time i turn around it's the same sad story
getting ganked i wish it could end in lifes comisary
i'm a bad missionary with a wicked message i sent
who can i trust in a world of greed
when i'm taught to take and not to give
who can i trust when i'm taught to take and not to give
I'm money broke and it's no joke can't core use the rope this time (Hey !!)
nuckel up buckel up the ride's getting rough but i will not loose my mind (Hey !!)
permit me to do what i want and i will i'm a nomad to travel (Hey !!)
concrete class stone and gravel
i'm a hyena fighting for lion share
sometimes the lions share ain't there
sometimes the lions share ain't there.....shit
