Oh cool, is everybody off in different places with Only Crime? Iâve been working on some solo stuffâtrying to get some of my old songs together, and trying to figure out when my band Only Crime is going to get a chance to get together again and finish demoing some new material. Hey Russ, thanks for doing this…besides prepping for the release of Capricorn One, what have you been up to? Punknews interviewer Sean Jain had a chance to speak with singer/songwriter Russ Rankin about the collection, the legacy of Good Riddance, the title of the album, Capricorn One, and what the future holds for Rankin, Good Riddance, and Rankin's other band, Only Crime. Now, some three years after that fateful night, the band has provided fans with one last 'hurrah' by culling together 21 of their best, rarest, and unreleased songs to be released this July on their long-time home, Fat Wreck Chords. On May 27th, 2007, seminal California punk band Good Riddance took the stage for what would be the final time in band's 12+ year career. There’ll never be enough good bands like this, that’s why Good Riddance should always have a place in your tartan covered, pyramid studded heart.Contributed by Rolosean, Posted by Richard Verducci Fat Wreck Chords Interviews 12 years ago It’s such a shame they’re gone- but they certainly will never be forgotten. Flawless, never gets boring, punk rock, exactly how it should be.

There’s so much diversity, lyrically and instrumentally, without them swaying from their true genre. Something everyone can have a good time to, as well as relate to, from the social politics, to the personal alienation.

Jam packed in are the short, sharp shocks of danceable melodic punk.

‘Patriarch’, is more rock than punk, with a long, soaring intro, it’s a lot darker than anything else on the CD, but they still pull it off beautifully.Įven though there’s 21 tracks, the full album is only 44 minutes long. Track 13, ‘Little Man’ is simple, fast, heavy punk rock, played exactly how it should be- take note bands of today, you could learn a lot from GR. There’s a taste of Bad Religion with each politically exasperated bite. The West Coast/ California Hardcore comes out in ‘More Time’, ‘Free’, ‘Great Experiment’ and ‘Last Believer’. Very few bands can get pull off a track that’s less than a minute long, and still have an impact- GR’s ‘Overcoming Learned Behavior’ (30 secs) does it just as well as Agnostic Front’s ‘Victim In Pain’, in even less time too. ’21 Guns’ and ‘What We Have’, amongst others, are East Coast style, heavy, fast, hardcore infused anger driven hits. The varying hardcore influences separate the majority of the tracks into two halves East and West Coast, both executed flawlessly by Russ and his multiple vocal talent. There’s a couple of love songs on this record, for all you romantic types ‘Always’ with it’s hint of Pennywise, proof that love songs don’t have to be cheesey, and ‘Remember When’, a catchy, cute, proper punk song about a girl- different to everything else on the album, but still brilliantly crafted, showing there’s no end to Good Riddance’s talents. There’s also an intense bass riff in there too, to tantalize all you 4 string aficionados. The long, complicated intro to the old school hardcore infused ‘Tragic Kingdom’ displays the bands instrumental talents, something that can be overlooked with them having such an influential frontman. Track two ‘Class War 2000’ is heavier, and like many of the songs on this album, the hardcore influences are pretty obvious. It’s clear this album is going to be 21 reasons to miss Good Riddance.

3: Physical Fatness Comp), starts off the purely eminent melodic punk perfectly. The opener, ‘Stand’ (originally on Fat Wreck Vol. From 1986 to 2007, they released 6 full length albums (all on Fat Wreck), 3 EPs, 6 Split EPs, a self-released demo, a covers album and a live album (of their last ever gig in ’07).Īnd now, three years after they called it a day, they’re releasing “Capricorn One”, a 21 track mix of singles, rarities, B-Sides and unreleased tracks. Good Riddance were a 4-piece from Santa Cruz, CA, that played fast, melodic punk, heavily influenced by the late 70s-80s hardcore scene. For those who don’t- and you call yourself punk!?- here’s a quick history of the band:
