Rolling Stone just did an interview/article with Lars Frederiksen about Rancid, the Warped Tour, future plans and more. Here's some noteworthy stuff: Frederiksen enjoyed the project (the Bastards) but is most excited about getting back to work with Armstrong, Brett Reed, and Matt Freeman. Following the Warped Tour, Rancid will head to Europe and Japan for a series of festival shows before returning home to record their sixth album. The band has already started compiling live footage, interviews and behind-the-scenes material for their most high-tech release to date, Rancid's first DVD, which should hit the shelves by year's end. "There's going to be some cool, classic shit on there. It's going to be the whole shebang," he says. As for Rancid's future, Frederiksen dispelled any lingering rumors that the band was planning to break up after this year's touring schedule. "I say this from the stage every night; Rancid will be making records in eighty years," Frederiksen says. "Families don't break up, not this one anyway. That's what we are first and foremost, a musical fucking family. My kids and Tim's kids will be growing on the jungle gym together, getting tattooed at the age of five."
