Always and Never is the debut album by New Zealand pop punk band, Goodnight Nurse, released in January 2006.

Always and Never went Gold after only a week of release and debuted to place number 5 on the RIANZ New Zealand Top 40 Albums Chart.

New Zealand critics took notice of the tight riffs and hooks, wide range of subject matter, and musical diversity (the album included fast, punk songs, as well as more mature-sounding songs that deal with themes such as death).

Joel Little, the lead singer, said, when asked about the subject matter of the album: I don’t know, it’s not always about what’s pissing us off, just what we’re feeling at the time.

The new album is a bit of a wide range, there’s some happier party kinda tunes, then there’s some serious ones about like people who have died and that kind of thing.
