 Hailing from Santa Cruz, California, Good Riddance are a definitive force in the punk scene, famously bridging the gap between high velocity skate punk and the raw intensity
of hardcore. They are celebrated for their ‘intellectual aggression’, a unique sound that fuses blistering drum speeds and sharp guitar riffs with surprisingly infectious melodies.
 For a new listener, the band represent the gold standard of the genre, proving that punk can be incredibly fast and aggressive while remaining musically polished and technically precise.
 Beyond their sonic impact, Good Riddance the band serve as a vital introduction to the activist roots of punk rock. Led by vocalist Russ Rankin, the band’s lyrics dive deep into social justice, animal rights and political critique, offering a much more thoughtful perspective than typical radio rock.
 By exploring classic albums like ‘A Comprehensive Guide to Moderne Rebellion’, fans can hear exactly how punk serves as a powerful voice for the marginalized and a dedicated platform for challenging the status quo.
 The band’s relevance remains as strong as ever; in 2024, they released ‘No More System to Believe In’, a melodic punk anthem that channels modern disillusionment into a powerful call to action. Following a gruelling 2025 tour schedule that saw them play major festivals like Hellfest and Warped Tour Orlando alongside sold-out club dates across Europe and North America, they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
 In 2026, Good Riddance will maintain this global momentum with extensive festival appearances, including Warped Tour Montreal and a series of soon-to-beannounced club shows.
 Recorded with Bill Stevenson at The Blasting Room.
