Peace in Our Time is the eighth studio album by the Santa Cruz, California-based hardcore punk band Good Riddance, released April 21, 2015 through Fat Wreck Chords. It is the band's first studio album since their 2007 breakup and 2012 reunion.

Background and recording[edit]

Good Riddance had broken up in 2007, but reunited in 2012.[1][2] Singer Russ Rankin began writing songs for the band's eighth studio album in 2014.[3] Peace in Our Time was recorded that November at Motor Studios in San Francisco, with Bill Stevenson serving as record producer and audio engineer.[4] The album was mixed and mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room.[4] The cover illustration was done by Chris Shary.[4] At only 27 minutes long, it is the band's shortest album to date.

Regarding the recording of the album, Rankin said, "I don't know how I wrote songs before GarageBand on my Mac computer. Being able to sit down with my laptop, plug in my guitar and demo a whole song is incredible. It is awesome."[3]

Release[edit]

Peace in Our Time was released April 21, 2015 through Fat Wreck Chords.[5] Music videos were released for the songs "Dry Season" and "Disputatio".[6][7]
