Hermosa Beach punk rock icons Pennywise, celebrating its 20th anniversary, raised its collective middle finger in the air to the music industry this spring and did the most punk rock/DIY thing imaginable; they gave away their latest record Reason To Believe for free. In fact, 400,000 downloads of Reason To Believe were recorded during a groundbreaking, two week promotion that gave Pennywise’s MySpace friends the opportunity to download the whole album from MySpace.
Having released nine classic records in its 20-year history, Pennywise signed with Myspace Records this year and the promotion of Reason To Believe marked the first time a U.S. record label has provided an artist with the opportunity to offer a new album free of charge and the first time MySpace has offered a full album download with a worldwide push.
After rocking audiences during select dates on this summer’s Vans Warped Tour, Pennywise is now touring overseas. The second radio single off the Cameron Webb produced Reason to Believe will be “Die For You” and to back it up Pennywise will be playing a series of radio shows in the U.S. later this month, including Chicago’s Q101.1 Block Party alongside Atreyu, and Bullet For My Valentine on September 14. See below for full list of radio dates.
Marking the first time Pennywise has ever serviced radio with a second single from the same record in its career, “Die For You” is the follow-up track to the record’s first single “The Western World” which was a Top 20 hit at Alternative Rock radio and top 10 at several leading stations including Sirius Satellite’s Faction (#1 most played), KROQ (Los Angeles) and 91X (San Diego). “The Western World” proved to be the band’s highest charting single ever. “Die For You” hits radio officially on September 22 and 23.
The band will also headline the first annual Liskfest (www.liskfest.com) in Irvine, California on Saturday, October 11 along with such bands as Gorilla Biscuits, Strung Out, The Vandals, Every Time I Die, Rival Schools, Bleeding Through, Set Your Goals, Revolution Mother and more.
With a presidential election hanging in the balance this fall, now more than ever the world needs he fiery, call-to-arms that is the Pennywise sound. Guitarist Fletcher Dragge says the band’s continuing passion and tension is what makes the band not only tick, but it’s how they’ve survived for 20 years.
“It’s something that we’re driven to do,” Dragge points out. “Our message and what we do has effected a lot of people’s lives and so we kind of feel like we have to do it. It’s bigger than the band.”

Federal authorities say they have arrested a blogger suspected of streaming songs from Guns N’ Roses unreleased album, “Chinese Democracy,” on his Web site.
FBI agents arrested 27-year-old Kevin Cogill this morning (Aug. 27) on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws. Federal authorities say Cogill posted nine unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs on Antiquiet.com in June. The songs were later removed but spread quickly across the Internet.
According to an arrest affidavit, Cogill admitted to agents that he posted the songs on his Web site.
“Chinese Democracy” has been in the works for more than a decade, with frontman Axl Rose the only remaining original member of the once mighty group. Rumblings that the album may finally be out this fall, possibly as a Best Buy exclusive, have not been confirmed by Guns N’ Roses or its management.
