For more than 25 years, Good Riddance has written tuneful punk anthems that take on injustice in all forms, from social to political to personal. That spirit drove classic albums like For God and Country, A Comprehensive Guide to Moderne Rebellion, and Ballads from the Revolution, and it carries through to the new Thoughts and Prayers (Fat Wreck Chords, July 19), Good Riddance’s second album since reforming in 2012.
As a voice of resistance through four presidential administrations, Good Riddance seems well-suited for these fraught times—but don’t expect a bunch of obvious anti-45...

Pine Hill Records is an American record label based out of New Hampshire, owned and operated by Tino Valpa of The Cryptics and Battalion Of Saints. Formed in 2013, the label is nearing its 30th release and has put out material from artists like Battalion Of Saints and The Queers to the more unexpected ground like 1950’s Jazz great Sol Yaged. Whereas the label is rooted in punk and hardcore, it has not ceased to push boundaries with releases in genres like post-punk, new wave, surf, and jazz. Valpa’s diverse taste has led the label to evolve into something more than the average punk label. The strong values that exist in...

Let’s be honest. Teenage Bottlerocket has always been rad. Formed in Wyoming in 2000, they were rad when they released their debut album, Another Way, in 2003 and almost two decades – as the title of this eighth studio album suggests – they remain just as rad. Following on from 2017’s Stealing The Covers – which, funnily enough, was a record of cover versions ­– these 14 short, snappy and stylish punk songs are centered around the songwriting chops of guitarists/vocalists Ray Carlisle and Kody Templeman (who also fronts The Lillingtons) and overflow with Teenage Bottlerocket’s typical mix of humor and poignancy, silline...

Good Riddance formed sometime in the 1990’s, depending on who you ask. Four scrappy punk kids in Santa Cruz who could hardly contain their love for Bad Religion, as can clearly be heard on their debut, 1995’s For God And Country. But things moved forward fast for GR, and they became one of the most important bands among the punk/melodic hardcore scene for the next decade. They boast massive album sales that number in the six figures, and they managed to accomplish that while staying true to the underground and remaining on an independent record label. They toured harder than any band in the sce...
