Rancid didn't merely announce that they were putting out their eighth studio record this fall; they made a sampler video. To accompany the news that ...Honor Is All We Know would be coming out on October 27th, the long-running punk quartet filmed themselves playing three songs from the record: "Collision Course," "Honor Is All We Know" and "Evil's My Friend," which are all sequenced one right after the other. In a post on Facebook, the band promised it would be releasing more music from the album.
The Bay Area punks recorded the album, which follows up their 2009 LP Let the Dominoes Fall, with Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz producing. "It's been six years since our last record," the band wrote in a joint statement. "Thank you guys for being patient."

Two years later, Armstrong released a new record – In a Warzone – by another band he fronts, the Transplants. The group, which also features Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.
