Its easy to hear why Lars Frederiksen is such a fan of Los Angeles Time Again. The quartet sounds a lot like his band, Rancid, and subscribes to a similar musical ethos, which declares bloated any song over three minutes. On its latest CD, The Stories Are True, Time Again (which even looks the part of a classic punk band, with its mile-high mohawks and ever-present sneers) mixes leftist politics and monster hooks something else it undoubtedly picked up from Rancid.
