FEELIN’ GOOD FRIDAY: Rancid – “Lock, Step, & Gone”

This right here is a 100% all-purpose, fire you up kind of song.

About to do something dangerous involving wheels of any kind?
Psyching yourself up for the big game?
Sprint song for your running mix?

Do you generally need to get hyped the fuck up?

Well, this little blast of ever-so-slightly polished punk from Rancid circa 1995 has you covered.

Most of the …And Out Come The Wolves album would fit the bill, but “Lock, Step, & Gone” has always stuck with me as the lead song to get me amped for just about any situation requiring elevated adrenaline levels.

“The feeling isn’t fear,
It’s just telling you to move.
The end isn’t here,
But it’s coming real soon.”
