Good Riddance was a punk band. Hailing from Santa Cruz, Ca. they featured a melodic brand of punk and hardcore that was hummable. They performed their last concert earlier this year in their hometown, and thankfully it was recorded for posterity. The cd is called "Remain in Memory". Although it doesn't break any new ground musically, it is a great retrospective of the material from all their earlier albums. It is also a testament to their excellent live show. Good Riddance were certainly no musical innovators, but did have a nicely recognizable style that offered great musicianship and memorable melodies. The world could stand more bands like these guys. They will be missed.
