ALBUM FACTS :
DESCRIPTION :
Hailing from Santa Cruz, California, Good Riddance is 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 represents 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, the band serves as a vital introduction to the activist roots of punk rock. Led by vocalist Russ Rankin, their 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 grueling 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 show 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-be-announced club shows.
