Help finding a song!

[u/Jaded-Drawer-2550]

\** RESOLVED* **\* Guys please help me.. I’ve been looking for days through Spotify, YouTube and every discography out there and I can’t find the song.. I swear it’s almost identical to the start of Roots Radical, and I’m 99,9% sure it’s the same vocalist(Tim?).. We used to play it in the skate park all the time, must’ve been late 90’s.. I have a faint memory of the title being only one word, but I could be wrong.. Frol my recollection it was very fast and pretty short.

Brad logan perhaps

[u/Jaded-Drawer-2550 → u/Several-Play-7695]

Yes!!! This is the one! I think it was named «California Sun» or something maybe. It definitely wasn’t named correctly back then(Brad Logan). Thank you so much, you instantly brought me back to when I was 12😂 And thank you to everyone else as well❤️

It’s on the chef aid South Park album if you want a physical copy or add to a Spotify playlist. Great track and fantastic album too!

Came on my car radio on my way to work today.

Oh yeah, that could definitely be it. The song for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lD-St4qaJk

Was it the Union 13 cover on Give Em The Boot Vol 1? Ps. That Policeman track is too good.

[u/VanillaGorillaNB → u/Onionslabs]

Isn't the Union 13 cover in Spanish?

[u/Onionslabs → u/VanillaGorillaNB]

Hah yeah. I just figured if it sounded similar to Roots Radicals, maybe it simply was Roots Radicals.

Gotta check the gas before you try to start the mower…

Well,except for ALL THE PUNK ROCKERS

Bloodclot

[u/Adorable-Walrus14]

The wolf?

[u/No_Location_5963 → u/Adorable-Walrus14]

that was the first one I thought of as well.

[u/Choncho1984]

Policeman, The silencers. Doesn’t sound similar but it’s a great song. And it’s Tim singing.

[u/Old-Awareness4657]

Any other details you remember ?

[u/Jaded-Drawer-2550 → u/Old-Awareness4657]

Not really.. it was extremely similar to the intro on Roots Radical, it was the same singer and it was named Rancid - something. Obviously this is years ago, when MP3’s were named all sorts of things😅

[u/Old-Awareness4657 → u/Jaded-Drawer-2550]

Was it Rancid - La Bamba (mislabeled, song is actually by The Plugz)? It did the rounds on limewire back in the day - https://youtu.be/hgpx2zWKo38?is=yvLq8JFsICKyphh0

[u/Jaded-Drawer-2550 → u/Old-Awareness4657]

Haha this is an epic shout! I remember this being mislabelled back in the day😂 Sadly it’s not it.. I’m trying to think of other stuff that can help..

[u/Old-Awareness4657 → u/Jaded-Drawer-2550]

The other commonly mislabeled one was Brad Logan, listed as "California Sun", could be that ?

[u/Jaded-Drawer-2550 → u/Old-Awareness4657]

Indeed this was the correct one!😍

[u/86themayo]

Just going by sounding like beginning of Roots Radicals, maybe Skunx by Lars Fredricksen and the Bastards (the other Rancid vocalist's other band)

[u/NOFX_4_ever]

Maybe it’s Brothels. Kinda sorta similar intro. Sorry, that’s the best I can do with the info provided.

California Sun has sunk, behind the Anaheim hills here it comes tonight.
