Good Riddance

Good Riddance are an American punk rock band from Santa Cruz, California. The band formed in 1986 and split up in 2007, after releasing seven studio albums through Fat Wreck Chords. Fronted by vocalist Russ Rankin, the line-up also included guitarist Luke Pabich, bassist Chuck Platt and drummer Sean “SC” Sellers. Their sound was influenced by the hardcore punk scene, and the band became known for combining fast punk rock with catchy melodies. Their lyrics range from political protest and critical analysis of American society to personal struggle and alienation. The band also champions animal rights (all its members are vegan or vegetarian and straight edge), supporting PETA and the Green Party.
