Good Riddance is a cornerstone of Santa Cruz’s punk scene, formed in 1986 and led by frontman Russ Rankin. Known for their melodic hardcore sound and sharp social and political themes, the band has built a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic. Their work with Fat Wreck Chords produced nine studio albums between 1995 and 2019, culminating in Thoughts and Prayers. After a hiatus, they reformed in 2012 and continued releasing impactful records, while supporting charitable initiatives through their music.
