“I remember everyone basically stopped speaking to me after this point as if I’d done some massive slight,” she added.Įlaborating on the messy situation she wrote: “I spent about $2000 on the various events and travel for this wedding and I never even received a thank you! It was almost no-contact post-wedding, with the exception of one pitiful last-minute invite to their housewarming via text message three days in advance. The bridesmaid also revealed that the bachelorette party was an "entire nightmare", where she was asked to cover an additional $400 cost but she refused.

I remember trying to keep my formal party dress clean as I bussed tables." “Basically the venue was just an empty hall with tables and chairs,” the bridesmaid began. Included in the list were things such as set up, pack down, purchasing the cake, centrepieces, food and more - all on the bridesmaids’ own dime.Īdding insult to injury, the bridal party were expected to "work the event" as wait staff as well as footing the bill. Combined with Rankin’s entertaining commentary, and a track listing few outside of the band’s inner circle will have experienced, Good Riddance has crafted a send-off that can sit proudly alongside Fat Wreck Chords’ growing collection of retrospectives.A bride has been exposed after her list of 'insane expectations' were shared online. Overall, Capricorn One: Singles & Rarities sits as a worthy self-tribute and final send off for fans who might have not been ready for Good Riddance to throw in the towel. For instance “All Mine” sounds like a collaboration with The Descendents, featuring the angry spoken word style of Milo Aukerman and disjointed guitar work circa Stephen Egerton, and the steady drum work and harmonies of “Great Experiment” feel as if pulled from current day American Steel as per Rankin’s spot-on descriptor. A couple songs from their final My Republic recording sessions prove unlikely highlights. With that in mind, many of these rarities lend themselves to their own uniqueness. While some may think jumping between eras and releases (the compilation doesn’t follow a linear structure) could feel disorienting, that they play off one another so well is a compliment to the group’s base continuity. Opener “Stand” originates from the 1997 label compilation Physical Fatness, and enjoys a far cleaner production along with the pronounced guitar leads that came to define Good Riddance as they matured as a unit. Other tracks get pulled from compilation recordings and stand alone singles. Highlights include the structurally simple “Little Man,” in which Rankin admits to trying to “out syllable Bad Religion,” their early attempt to shed light on societal illusions circa Disneyland in “Tragic Kingdom,” and a the reduced tempo of their uncharacteristically slow critique on daily America values in “Patriarch.” Roughly recorded and scratchy as hell, long time fans will no doubt relive their earliest memories with a deserving nostalgia. Fans will embrace the songs for documenting the fiery rebellion of a young startup still navigating melodies in a search for their trademark sound. Strong likenesses draw upon a legacy of 90’s skate-punk, melodic hardcore, and just good old-fashioned punk rock.Ī whopping eight songs originate from the band’s earliest years in both an unreleased demo recording (some songs were re-reorded during future releases) and since out of print Gidget 7”.
Conscious that everyone may not be privy to these expanses, the folks at Fat Wreck convinced the band to consolidate their most rare and least known works for one last book-closing send-off to the Good Riddance chapter in Capricorn One: Singles & Rarities.Ĭomplete with liner notes consisting of vocalist Russ Rankin’s thoughts and ramblings, the compilation offers a bit of everything that made Good Riddance what it was.

One of a handful of bands to lay claim to being one of Fat Wreck Chords most consistent regulars (right up there with Lagwagon and Mad Caddies), the often underrated group disbanded amicably, leaving a healthy catalogue spanning seven full lengths and a sizeable spread of EPs and splits. After a fruitful fourteen year run, Good Riddance closed up shop in 2007.
