Rancid and punks

I have problems with my hearing, so much so that I'm under hospital consultation to have them looked at. With that in mind whats the best thing a girl can do.......attend a Rancid concert !!!!
G has been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yes SO excited about seeing this band. Rancid are an American punk band who I'm not sure have toured the UK that much, so off we went to Norwich UEA to take in the sights and sounds !
There were two other bands playing before, the first Argy Bargy may have destroyed my hearing a little bit more with their shit shouty guitar "music"...........It did get better......sort of.......G has played me some Rancid to get me in the mood, however when heard live all the songs just kind of sounded the same...... :)
