PENNYWISE - LAND OF THE FREE? VINYL RE-ISSUE (LTD. ED. RED)

LIMITED EDITION RED VINYL RE-ISSUE

Release Date: 27th May 2022

"Originally released in June 2001, the band’s six studio album tackled the politi-cal and social issues of the day, from police corruption and mass shootings to elections, topics that 20 years later are just as relevant. Pennywise have made a name for themselves over the past 33 years as a politi-cally minded, melodic hardcore /punk band that has sold millions of albums and become one of the most successful independent acts of all time. Formed in 1988, the band played backyard parties in their hometown of Her-mosa Beach, California, without having any aspirations other than playing as many songs as they could before the police showed up. Hermosa Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods are a prominent place in popular culture, with groups like Black Flag, The Circle Jerks and Descendents merging a fast rebel-lious sound with the surrounding aggressive surf and skate culture. Inspired by their predecessors, Pennywise were at the forefront of a second wave of American punk rock that would catapult the movement from a tight-knit subculture into a worldwide movement."
