ANNOUNCED NEW ALBUM ‘BEFORE THE WORLD CAVES IN’ OUT MARCH 27 VIA FAT WRECK CHORDS.

Punk veterans have announced their 10th studio album set to be released on March 27th via Fat Wreck Chords. Good Riddance are one of the most respected and enduring bands in melodic hardcore punk. Formed in Santa Cruz, California in 1990, the band built their reputation on fast, aggressive songwriting and politically charged lyrics that helped define the sound and spirit of modern punk. Known for their uncompromising honesty and intensity, band have released a series of influential albums that address themes of social justice, personal responsibility, and resistance. Their music connects deeply with audiences through a balance of urgency, melody, and raw conviction, earning them a dedicated global following. A proven force on festival stages, group is renowned for explosive, high-energy live performances that bring together longtime fans and new listeners alike. With decades of touring experience and a catalog of anthems that remain as relevant as ever, they continue to stand as a vital voice in punk—direct, principled, and relentless. Front man Russ Rankin shares:

“Arriving at our tenth studio album, we recognized that we needed to create something fierce enough to meet this moment in history head-on. We wanted to craft songs that didn’t flinch, songs that could carry the weight, urgency, and aggression of the times we are living through. A deliberate darkness runs through the record, a moodiness we hoped would coil itself around each track, giving the collection a unified pulse. We also sought to rethink our prior formulas, experimenting with broader dynamics, letting certain passages breathe, before tightening the screws again. These ebbs and surges allowed us to build tension and impact in ways we hadn’t explored previously. Our sincere hope is that these songs strike a chord with both the people who’ve been with us for decades, as well as anyone discovering our music for the first time.”

Thi release marks the band’s first album since 2019’s ‘Thoughts And Prayers’.
