Bay Area melodic hardcore vets Good Riddance are back with “There’s Still Tonight,” the latest single from their upcoming album Before the World Caves In, due out March 27 on Fat Music. This track lands like a familiar scene you know by heart — fast, sharp, and emotionally grounded — but still carrying the urgency and spirit that made the band matter in the first place.
Right away, “There’s Still Tonight” feels unmistakably Good Riddance. The guitars cut clean but aggressive, the drums push relentlessly without losing clarity, and the vocals carry conviction instead of polish. It hits that balance between melody and hardcore bite that the band have perfected over decades.
Lyrically, the song hugs that tension between frustration and hope that the band have long explored. There’s a sense of grabbing what’s real in the moment while the world around you feels unstable. It’s not sentimental. It’s not sugarcoated. It’s about presence and urgency, exactly the kind of emotional energy this band has always done well.
What stands out is how natural the track feels. After years and several lineup changes, Good Riddance still sound like themselves without sounding stuck in the past. The hooks feel earned, the pacing never lags, and the delivery carries the weight of experience rather than nostalgia.
Production stays crisp and punchy without smoothing out the edges. Guitars bite, the rhythm section moves with intention, and the vocals sit upfront with clarity. It feels dynamic without ever becoming overly engineered.
“There’s Still Tonight” serves as a strong preview of Before the World Caves In — a record that promises momentum and melody in equal measure. For fans who’ve stuck with Good Riddance through thick and thin, this single feels like a reminder of why the band earned their place in melodic hardcore history.
Fast, direct, and emotionally sharp, the track proves one thing above all: Good Riddance still know how to write a punk song that hits both in the heart and in the gut.
