Russ Rankin is a singer, songwriter, columnist, poet, and screenwriter from Santa Cruz, CA. He is best known as the vocalist for seminal hardcore punk band Good Riddance, as well as the vocalist for Only Crime.

“I had written these songs that maybe didn’t suit Good Riddance, and then there were these cover songs I kept finding myself drawn to, so I decided to record all of it. Adam Gomez (currently of The Dickies) took care of the drumming, while I played all the other instruments and did the vocals,” explains Rankin.

A Season In Hell consists of three new original songs alongside three covers. It follows Rankin’s 2022 full-length, Come Together Fall Apart, this time leaning into a heavier hardcore direction. The EP reconnects Rankin with the style that first established him, while offering his own take on a handful of classics by The Records, The Avengers, and Leon Rosselson.
