No matter how much Rancid sounded like the punks of old, though, the band undeniably impressed the masses with its raw street-rock energy and perspective. As Green Day resurrected the three-chord pop-punk love song and the Offspring was the frat-rock party essential, Rancid took '90s mainstream punk one step further with the group's grounded attitude and boundless fervor.

She got pregnant not long after meeting him, and she married like the good Catholic she has always tried to be.
