Rancid’s self-titled debut EP from 1992 has been released on digital streaming services for the first-time ever.
The original EP was released exclusively on 7-inch vinyl back in 1992 on Lookout! Records, predating Rancid’s heyday on Epitaph.

The debut became a sought-after slab of wax, as it introduced one of the greatest punk acts to emerge in the 1990s. The EP was reissued on 7-inch in 2012, but this marks the first time these five songs have been officially released digitally and follows the recent digital release of the band’s B Sides and C Sides compilation.
Singer-guitarist Tim Armstrong and bassist Matt Freeman (ex-Operation Ivy) formed Rancid in 1991 following their stint in Operation Ivy. The band was initially rounded out by drummer Brett Reed.

The Bay Area was a weird place in 1987. You had the remnants of the Me Decade’s cults of touchy-feeliness bumping up against Silicon Valley’s computer-nerd capitalism. Competing D.I.Y. music scenes meant you could surf between S.F. Thrash, East Bay rap, and pockets of punk popping up from everywhere; shows and entrances to a subculture of your choice were just a Bart ride away. Other than the San Francisco 49ers, still deep into their Joe Montana-led winning streak, sports meant rooting for underdogs. (The Oakland...

After years of turmoil, including drummer Travis Barker’s 2008 plane crash, singer-bassist Mark Hoppus’s successful battle with cancer, and the departure (and recent return) of singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge, Blink-182 takes what feels like a victory lap on One More Time… The first single, “Edging,” is a pop-punk stomper that, at least superficially, bears all of the Blink hallmarks. But the rest of the singles have been a mixed bag: The über-schmaltzy title track reflects on the group members’ friendship with rather prosaic lyrics—“Do I have to die to hear you miss me?”—while the fiery “More Than You Know” channels post-hardcore while also making reference to the tragedy that frequently surrounds the band.
This dynamic is indicative of the album as a whole: For every triumphant return to form, there’s an uninspired dud. On the opening “Anthem Part 3,” Blink-182’s renewed energy is immediately palpable. Two songs later,...

Punk veterans Rancid have dropped “Devil in Disguise,” the latest single from their forthcoming album, Tomorrow Never Comes, out June 2nd via Epitaph.
The new song, which follows the album’s title track released last month, features galloping drums and a sing-along chorus in which Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen team up for the refrain: “Beware who’s around you hiding in plain sight / Beware who’s around you in the broad daylight.” And in typical Rancid style, the track clocks in at bite-sized punk duration of two minutes.
Tomorrow Never Comes marks the band’s first album in six years, following 2017’s Trouble Maker. The new LP was once again produced by Epitaph Records owner and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz.
Prior to the LP drop next Friday, Rancid are set to headline the Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival in Las Vegas this Sunday (May 28th).

Rancid have announced their first album in six years. The veteran punk band’s 10th studio LP, Tomorrow Never Comes, arrives on June 2nd, and features the just-released title track as its first single.
Tomorrow Never Comes follows 2017’s Trouble Maker. Like that album, the new LP was produced by Epitaph Records owner and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz.
The single “Tomorrow Never Comes” features a three-vocal attack, with Tim Armstrong handling the verses, Lars Frederiksen taking on the main chorus, and bassist Matt Freeman belting “tomorrow” in a call-and-response extension of the chorus.
Prior to the album’s release, Rancid will headline the Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival in Las Vegas on May 28th. After that, they’ll embark on a European/UK tour that kicks off on the album’s release date (June 2nd) in Rimini, Italy, and wraps up June 25th in Tabor, Czech Republic, at the Mighty Sounds Festival.

Former Operation Ivy bandmates Jesse Michaels and Tim Armstrong have reunited to form a new band called Bad Optix. For their debut single, they’ve shared a song called “Raid” through Armstrong’s Hellcat Records. Listen below.
The origins of Bad Optix trace back to March 2021, some 32 years after Operation Ivy’s breakup. After initially meeting up “purely with the intent to reconnect,” the duo soon found themselves working together on new music. To round out the lineup, Michaels and Armstrong recruited drummer Joey Castillo and Spencer Pollard (Trash Talk).
“As soon as we started writing together, we found that we had the same collaborative energy that we had in the past, so it was natural and fun just to keep going,” Michaels said in a statement.
Last year, Michaels and Armstrong reunited at Los Angeles’ Musack Rock and Roll Carnival, where they performed Operation Ivy’s “Sound System.”

Yahoo Friday named Jim Lanzone, a veteran tech and media executive, CEO of Tinder and former head of CBS Interactive, as its new chief executive effective September 27.
He succeeds Guru Gowrappan, who becomes senior advisor to the private equity business of Apollo Global Management, which acquired Yahoo and other media assets from Verizon in May for $5 billion. Verizon retained a 10% stake.
Apollo said Lanzone will help Yahoo accelerate the growth of its properties as a privately held company and draw on his deep media experience “to drive the next generation of innovation” across its content and advertising platforms. It said Yahoo intends “to invest significantly” in the user experience and new offerings that can build on its brands in sports, finance, news and technology.

Verizon said Monday that it’s clinched a deal to sell its media assets to Apollo Global Management and related entities for $5 billion. Verizon will retain a 10% stake in the company, which will be known as Yahoo at close of the transaction and continue to be led by CEO Guru Gowrappan.
Verizon Media brands are led by Yahoo and AOL, two companies with a complex and difficult past.
Yahoo was founded in 1994 by electrical engineering students Jerry Yang and David Filo as a website called Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web. It became a portal and grew rapidly during the 1990s, riding the Internet boom, but also the crash in 2001, and had a long succession of CEOs including Yang, former Warner Bros chairman Terry Semel, Caro Bartz, Tim Morse, Scott Thompson, Ross Levinsohn and Marissa Mayer.

They weren’t the first to mix these genres, but the band — made up of singer Jesse Michaels, drummer Dave Mello, and future Rancid members Tim “Lint” Armstrong and Matt “McCall” Freeman, on guitar and bass, respectively — completely changed the rules for what was possible in each, inspiring thousands of others to follow their lead.

Verizon is exploring a sale of Yahoo and AOL that would end a rocky era for the telco as a media owner after a spate of disappointing acquisitions. A sale could bring $4 billion to $5 billion and giant investment group Apollo Global Management is said to involved, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
Reps for Verizon and Apollo weren’t immediately available to comment.
The move, while a reversal, would not be surprising. Verizon bought the once mighty internet pioneer turned sort of punchline AOL for $4.4 billion in 2015, and Yahoo for $4.5 billion two years later. It merged them into a new venture it called Oath and named Tim Armstrong, AOL’s then CEO, to run it. He left in late 2018. Around then, Verizon announced a hefty $4.6 billion write-down of Oath assets, saying competitive pressures in the digital ad business had quashed the potential of the Yahoo-aol integration. It...

Verizon’s distressed Oath unit, home to such Web 1.0 media operations as Yahoo, AOL and HuffPost, is bleeding badly enough that the company plans to take a $4.6 billion charge in the fourth quarter.
A voluntary separation program that will see 10,400 workers exit by June 2019 are expected to result in a severance charge of between $1.8 billion and $2.1 billion.
In an SEC filing, the telecom giant cited “increased competitive and market pressures throughout 2018” and conceded that Oath “has also achieved lower than expected benefits” from combining Yahoo and AOL.
One positive noted in the filing is a one-time $2.1 billion tax benefit stemming from a restructuring of the company’s wireless division.
The accounting moves correlate with new leadership. Hans Vestberg took over from Lowell McAdam as CEO on August 1, with K. Guru Gowrappan becoming CEO of the media unit two months later. They are trying to turn the battleship, which for years...

Verizon edged Wall Street expectations, reporting third-quarter earnings per share of $1.19, up 34% from the 89 cents it posted in the year-earlier period, or $1.22 excluding some special items.
Analysts had predicted profit of $1.19 a share.
Total revenue reached $32.6 billion, up nearly 3% from the third quarter of 2017, and also topped analysts’ consensus estimate.
While there was some encouraging news in the numbers, the company’s media unit, Oath, continued to struggle. Comprised of well-worn brands including Yahoo, HuffPost and AOL, the segment had $1.8 billion in revenue for the quarter, nearly 7% less than in the year-ago quarter. Verizon said it expects “relatively flat” Oath revenue in the near term and does not expect to hit $10 billion in revenue in the segment by 2020, undershooting a previous internal forecast. Tim Armstrong, who ran Oath and AOL prior to its acquisition by Verizon, recently announced his exit from the company.

In fact, last year, the number of TV shows released in the U.S. hit a new high, up to 487 compared to 455 in 2016.
This swell in TV programming combined with the massive growth of over-the-top (Ott) and trend of cord-cutting– which, according to eMarketer, will jump 32 Percent this year–begs the question: what does this mean for TV marketers and how can they keep up?

Tim Armstrong, CEO of Verizon’s internet content unit, Oath, is reportedly negotiating his exit from the company.
The Wall Street Journal reported the talks this morning. An Oath rep did not immediately respond to Deadline’s request for comment.
A former top ad sales executive at Google, Armstrong became CEO of AOL in 2009 and continued in that role after Verizon bought the diminished Internet 1.0 giant for $4.4 billion in 2015. He oversaw the integration of AOL and Yahoo after it too was acquired by Verizon, with the combined assets rebranded as Oath in 2017.
Generating digital advertising revenue has become a much more difficult task over the past couple of years as Facebook and Google continue to dominate the space, taking about 80 cents of every online ad dollar. Once high-flying digital brands throughout the digital realm, from Buzzfeed to Vox have been forced to cut staff and refocus their ambitions given the environment.

Sun Valley, Idaho — The black and silver SUVs packed with CEOs started rolling in about noon. Allen & Co.’s annual gathering of media and tech titans at the Sun Valley Lodge resort here brings together several combatants in active industry battles that have observers transfixed.
Will Comcast’s Brian Roberts and Disney’s Bob Iger wind up talking in the halls about their escalating bidding war for Rupert Murdoch‘s 21st Century Fox? Will Shari Redstone and Leslie Moonves, now fighting each other in court over control of CBS Corp., meet on a resort pathway or in a conference session? Several conference attendees admitted privately that the corporate soap operas have been the buzz of the confab in the early going.

Verizon is pulling the plug on its Go90 mobile video app and shifting distribution of its shows to Oath’s well-established digital media brands, which include Yahoo and the Huffington Post.
Oath CEO Tim Armstrong telegraphed that Go90’s days were numbered when he talked about transforming it from a standalone service into a content library, whose shows could be distributed broadly across Verizon’s media properties.
“The brand will remain, but I don’t know for how long,” Armstrong said in an interview last February at the Code Media conference in Huntington Beach.
That day has officially come.
“Go90 will be discontinued,” the company said in a statement. “Verizon will focus on building its digital-first brands at scale in sports, finance, news and entertainment.”
Verizon launched Go90 in late 2015 to capture millennial viewers, and offered content from partners including AwesomenessTV and Vice. It struck exclusive deals with the National Football League...

Go90 is officially being eighty-sixed.
Verizon’s Go90 free, ad-supported mobile video service — launched nearly three years ago — will cease on July 31. The Go90 app, stocked with a mix of short-form original entertainment, live sports, and licensed TV shows, was never able to attract any kind of sizable audience and as a result struggled to book advertising dollars.
As an attempt to build an mobile entertainment brand from scratch, Go90 failed because Verizon arguably didn’t effectively market the millennial-targeted service. Go90’s operations have already been combined into Oath, the division that merged AOL and Yahoo.
“Following the creation of Oath, Go90 will be discontinued,” a Verizon rep said in a statement. “Verizon will focus on building its digital-first brands at scale in sports, finance, news and entertainment for today’s mobile consumers and tomorrow’s 5G applications.”

After launching to substantial fanfare in October 2015, the visibility of Verizon’s mobile video platform go90 has notably waned in recent months. In February, the original video platform was folded into Oath, which was born of a merger between AOL and Yahoo -- both of which are also owned by Verizon. And at the time, Oath CEO Tim Armstrong said he didn’t know how long the brand would remain in existence.
That said, the go90 is bringing back standout series Mr. Student Body President for a third season on June 14 -- and then a fourth season later this year. The New Form-produced high school drama -- starring high-profile YouTube creators Arden Rose and Gabriel Conte as well as budding actors Camille Hyde (American Vandal) and Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time) -- will premiere on both go90 and Tumblr.

Tyler Perry surprised the audience at the Milken Institute Global Conference on Monday with a candid thought about one of his signature characters, the cantankerous Madea.
Perry spoke alongside UTA chief Jeremy Zimmer and Oath CEO Tim Armstrong on a panel focused on what it takes to build a successful business and healthy company culture. Perry told moderator Gayle King, co-anchor of “CBS This Morning,” that success can have some downsides. He admitted he has grown tired of donning the gray-haired wig and flower-print dress to play Madea, the character that fueled his early success as an auteur.
“The minute (audiences) stop coming I’m killing that bitch,” Perry confessed. He joked that he would have made different choices as a young man, had he known he’d still be playing Madea 25 years later. “Why can’t I be like Black Panther or something?”

At one point, Go90 was among Verizon's foremost bets in the online video world. Now, its looking as if that that brand could be on its way out. During an address at Recode's Code Media conference, Oath CEO Tim Armstrong said that Go90 will be folded into his company, which is also owned by Verizon.
Oath, which was born out of a merger between legacy internet brands AOL and Yahoo, has had its eye on branded content of late, hiring former YouTube exec Kathryn Freidrich as the head of its in-house agency. Go90, meanwhile, was launched in 2015 as an attempt to bring original content to millennial viewers on mobile devices. “We had two separate strategies now, now it will be one strategy,” said Armstrong, who came to Oath after previously serving as the top exec at AOL. “We have taken Go90 into Oath.”

Argo (15)
(Ben Affleck, 2012, Us) Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, 120 mins
Affleck's rehabilitation is complete thanks to this unlikely-but-true collision of Hollywood sci-fi and Iranian politics. It looks and feels like a lost 1970s thriller, with perfect retro styling and slow-burning tension, all nicely undercut by a CIA agent's crazy plan to use a Star Wars knock-off to spirit Americans out of revolutionary Tehran. A fake 70s thriller about a fake 70s sci-fi, based on a real story – what's not to like?
Alps (15)
(Giorgos Lanthimos, 2011, Gre) Stavros Psyllakis, Aris Servetalis, 93 mins
More audacious but coolly deadpan oddness from the Dogtooth director, this time following a secretive group who provide a surreal service for grieving relatives. The world's a stage, Lanthimos hints,...

There have been so many exegeses of punk rock—including the recent documentary American Hardcore—that there wouldn't seem to be much need for Susan Dynner's "people's history" Punk's Not Dead. But Dynner brings a broader perspective. Rather than breaking punk down into its UK, NY, DC, and La golden ages and leaving other scenes and eras out to dry, Dynner treats punk as an ever-evolving, eternally relevant movement that keeps producing great bands and vital scenes. Few would put modern million-selling pop-punkers on the same plane as U.K. Subs or Minor Threat, but Punk's Not Dead rightly notes that for some kids out there now, The Offspring are old-school and The Used changed their lives. Punk's Not Dead starts with the first punk explosion in the late '70s—complete with scenes from tongue-clucking episodes of CHiPs, Donahue, and Quincy—then jumps ahead to Rancid and Green Day,...

The film opens theatrically in select cities around the Us, adding cities as audience demand for the film grows.Sprawling and comprehensive, Punk's Not Dead takes the filmgoer into the sweaty underground clubs,
