Rancid has confirmed the support for the remainder of their North American and upcoming UK tour dates. The bands involved span two distinct generations and that's something of a testament to Rancid's appeal. On one hand we'll see the group playing with D.O.A., the Adolescents, T.S.O.L., Dr. Know, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Anti-Nowhere League, GBH and U.K. Subs. In the same tour the band will play shows their 90s contemporaries like Less Than Jake, H2O and the Aquabats.

Rancid's long awaited follow up to 2003's Indestructible is still in the works. The band has announced that it will get some attention before the UK leg of the tour in November, but what that means is anyone's guess. The leading rumor right now is that the album will be titled One Way To Die, but since that information comes from both contentious Wikipedia edits and Punknews submissions from fans claiming "I heard Tim say it!" don't go getting it tattooed on the back of your head just yet. Whatever it's called, the album is being produced by Brett Gurewitz and will be their first to feature new drummer Branden Steineckert.
