Leading members of '90s punk bands Rancid and Pennywise have joined forces to create a new rock supergroup called The Crew.

They've released a one-off single, 'One Voice' out now on digital streaming services and as a now sold-out limited edition 7" release in aid of the music charity Musack. It is released on the legendary punk record label Epitaph.

The group features Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman of Rancid and Operation Ivy fame, Mike Muir from Suicidal Tendencies and Pennywise's Fletcher Dragge & Byron McMackin.

Their new song also comes with a lyric video featuring Armstrong holding up the middle finger, mosh pits and skulls all under a grey colour palette. Jason Link created the visuals.

The Crew have also released a limited t-shirt available from Musack's website, with these proceeds also going to the American charity. It's website describe their mission as giving "kids and teens a voice through music by providing guitars, drums, and support for music teachers - wherever the need arises".
