Capricorn One
Good Riddance
Fat Wreck Chords
Good Riddance were a underrated band, but with their demise in 2007, this collection of 21 tracks (and only 44 minutes long) is a great reminder of the legacy the East Coast melodic punks left and a reminder of the legions of bands that took inspiration from them. This is a…
