"Ruby Soho" was the third and last single from ...And Out Come the Wolves, Rancid's 1995 album, and it's the band at its most tuneful: a bouncing verse that barrels headlong into a shout-along chorus built for a sweaty club. Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen trade guitars and vocals, Matt Freeman's bass runs all over the neck and throws in backing vocals, and Brett Reed keeps the drums tight and pushing.

Armstrong, Frederiksen and Freeman wrote it together. Jerry Finn produced it with the band and mixed it, Michael Rosen engineered, and Brett Gurewitz handled additional recording for Epitaph. It reached number 13 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, and Spin named it among the 95 best alternative rock songs of 1995.
