Xander Deccio looks back as Punk Rock veterans Rancid destroyed the Showbox SODO with 2 sold out shows earlier this month.

Rancid is on tour with another Tim Armstrong band Transplants, and is celebrating its 22nd anniversary as a band.

Both bands didn’t disappoint either, as the Showbox SODO was so packed that it was almost impossible to get out of the venue to leave. This was a show I didn’t think I was going to get approved to shoot and they had been on the bucket list for so long that I was about to give up.

Persistence finally paid off, as I finally got the opportunity to cross the boys off the list. Rancid still has the power and passion and delivered a patented live ass kicking in Seattle.

Check out the photos from the show below…
