Good Riddance Shares New Single, “Drive Faster”

Santa Cruz’s very own Good Riddance is gracing us with a new single, Drive Faster.  If you know me, you know I love this band and they’ve yet to piss me off or disappoint me, so let’s go! The new single is streaming now and is following up There’s Still Tonight, which can both be found on the band’s upcoming 10th studio album, Before The World Caves In. Pre-order the album now! It drops March 27th via Fat Wreck Chords.

On the new single, the band shares: “This is a song about the innocence and seeming invulnerability of youth. Those fleeting years of joy and promise before the severity of the world begins to weigh people down. We hope everyone digs it as much as we do!”
