Branden Steineckert (born April 21, 1978), is the drummer for the punk rock band Rancid. Branden was born in Provo, Utah and was raised in a Mormon family which moved more than twenty times during his youth. He picked up skateboarding at an early age due to the fact his friends skated. When Branden was 11 years old, his father, Neil Steineckert, committed suicide, so he picked up drumming as a way to relieve him of his troubles. He was a founding member of Strange Itch, a band that would later become The Used, and would go on to achieve success, earning a platinum album. On November 3, 2006, it was announced that Branden would be playing drums for Rancid until the end of their tour.
