The 11th Hour: A Rancid Podcast
Presented by Foxy Digitalis.
Rancid broke up their nuclear blast album 2000 self-titled album with an anthemic ode to the people of Rwanda. We dive in to talk about what it means when (white) American artists bring attention to a people or issue via an anodyne positive and encouraging message. Where does this fall on the problematic scale? What was the intent vs effect? Also how does this one fit into the breakneck tracklist that is Rancid 2000.
