 Ink 19 :: Pennywise
Veteran Long Beach skate-punks Pennywise have stood tall and independent since their formation back in 1988, and little has changed over the years -- musically or personnel-wise (Randy Bradbury replaced the late Jason Thirsk on bass in 1997).
Pennywise sounds more comfortable with their new-found sense of social commentary here, and there's little left of the risky, confrontational nature of its predecessor.
Musically, this is business as usual for the guys: solid skate-punk with a pop edge, rooted in early hardcore.
