Let's Go (Rancid album)

Untitled

Let's Go is a 1994 punk rock album by the band Rancid.

Released on the influential indie label Epitaph Records, Let's Go initially achieved little mainstream success, though it appealed to the band's fanbase. However, the surprise success of punk rock bands like The Offspring and Bad Religion in the mid-1990s brought forth more mainstream interest in the album, and it ultimately reached #97 on Billboard's Heatseekers and Billboard 200 charts, respectively.

The album was certified gold by the RIAA on July 7, 2000.
