Good Riddance was founded in 1986 by singer Russ Rankin, but did not coalesce into a functioning band until the addition of guitarist Luke Pabich several years later.[1] With bassist Devin Quinn and drummer Rich McDermott the band released its debut EP, Gidget, in 1993 through Austin, Texas record label Little Deputy Records.[1][2] Quinn left and was temporarily replaced by Tom Kennedy before Chuck Platt joined as the band's permanent bassist.[2] Good Riddance signed to Fat Wreck Chords, releasing their debut album For God and Country and the Decoy EP in 1995.[1][2] McDermott then left and was replaced by Sean Sellers for 1996's A Comprehensive Guide to Moderne Rebellion.[1][2] Using several outtakes from the album sessions, Good Riddance released split EPs with Reliance, Ignite, Ill Repute, and Ensign through other record labels over the following year.[2][3] Ballads from the Revolution followed in 1998, and Operation Phoenix in 1999.[1]
Sellers left Good Riddance in late 1999, and Dave Raun of Lagwagon played drums on their 2000 EP The Phenomenon of Craving.[1] Dave Wagenschutz of Kid Dynamite joined as the band's new drummer, debuting with them on 2001's Symptoms of a Leveling Spirit.[1] The album marked the band's first appearance on the Billboard charts, reaching no. 32 on the Independent Albums chart.[4][5] This was followed by the video documentary Exposed! 1994–1999 and a split EP with Kill Your Idols.[1] Cover Ups, a compilation of cover versions from the band's previous releases, was released in 2002 through Lorelei Records, a label co-founded by Rankin.[1] Wagenschutz left Good Riddance following 2003's Bound by Ties of Blood and Affection, which reached no. 47 on the Independent Albums chart, and the band slipped into a period of inactivity during which Rankin started Only Crime.[4]
Good Riddance returned in 2006 with My Republic, with Sean Sellers back as drummer, but decided in 2007 to break up the band.[1] Their final performance on May 27, 2007 was recorded, and released in 2008 as the live album Remain in Memory: The Final Show.[1] The compilation album Capricorn One: Singles & Rarities was released in 2010, collecting tracks from the band's split releases and several unreleased demos.[6] Good Riddance reunited in 2012 and released their eighth studio album, Peace in Our Time, in 2015, followed in 2019 by Thoughts and Prayers.[7][8]
