Russ Rankin of Good Riddance spoke to our friends at Pastepunk finally giving up some more details about the reasons to end the band as well as commenting on some of his future plans. As to the breakup, Russ explained:

We were looking at trying to keep going in small little chunks of time, whenever we could have some time available. And then Sean would kind of be on-call to drum for us. But we went out and toured and found that uh, you know, music had changed a lot, and nobody really wanted to see our band anymore. So we had been talking about doing this for about a year. We don’t want to be that band that keeps on touring, and playing to like, 5 people, then 3 people, then no people. We don’t want to be that band. We would rather do this, and have our dignity.

As to the future, Russ mentioning his co-owned label, Lorelai Records, thoughts about writing a book and more. The interview took place at the site of the band's final show together. You can check out the entire piece here.
