Pennywise is as Pennywise does.
Pennywise revisit their older years with album number eleven.
There are a handful of bands over the past couple decades who have been responsible for introducing countless people into the world of punk rock. Bands like Bad Religion, Black Flag, The Offspring, Blink-182, Green Day, and of course, Pennywise. Celebrating their 25th year as a band in 2013, the punk rock veterans now find themselves back with original singer, Jim Lindberg, as well a new release, 'Yesterdays'. We spoke with bassist Randy Bradbury about the new release and how it feels to have the gang back together.
Renewed and refreshed but sounding classic.
When you think of true punk rock, the name Pennywise would spring to mind for a lot of people. The band, who have been around for over twenty years making solid punk rock records and offering energetic live performances, are set to release a new record titled 'All Or Nothing.' The significance of the record is that it will be the first release with new vocalist Zoli Teglas, the replacement for the band's much loved front man Jim Lindberg. KYS had a chat to original member and guitarist Fletcher Dragge to see what the world of Pennywise is like these days.
One of the most popular bands in punk today, Pennywise shook things up back in 2009 when they announced that long time front man Jim Lindberg had decided to leave the band. Instead of throwing in the towel, the band picked up a new front man in Ignite vocalist Zoli Teglas, and since then have been working on material for their tenth studio album. I caught up with Zoli the day after their appearance at the Sydney leg of the Soundwave Festival to discuss the festival and their new album.
At least you know what you’re getting...
